Yes, according to
UCI regulation 1.3.022, the handlebars can be no more than 5cm ahead of the front axle. The only morphological exception for handlebars in the regulations is for handlebar extensions used for road time trials and certain track events (i.e. aerobars). But, the UCI regularly makes up rules as they go along, so maybe some ad hoc exception was granted to this rider.
