It’s clearly not important, but it’s Friday…my point on climbing and sprinting refers to this:
The rider shall normally assume a sitting position on the bicycle
In theory the UCI could do riders for taking a hand off the bars to feed, but, again we assume that is a sanctioned ‘abnormal’ position.
Ruleset is here BTW: https://www.uci.org/docs/default-source/rules-and-regulations/part-ii-road/2-roa-regulations-e.pdf
A lot of the familiar riding positions in the sport are only implicitly sanctioned, rather than explicitly. AFAICT

On the Richardson/Clayton stuff, there’s quite a bit on their history at https://thebritishcontinental.co.uk/.
I’ve enjoyed watching their careers as latecomers.

Leggy’s point is about aero positions, not climbing and sprinting out of the saddle, which aren’t mentioned in the rules. I guess we assume they are sanctioned “abnormal” positions.

Yes, you’re right: “only” is the important word, which can be used against pinky paws as that position is still supported by forearms on the tops.
“Normally” is a the big subjective elephant in the rule.
