Poking around the Velonews site, I finally found a close-up of the odd Gerolsteiner bars that were used during the Team Time Trial.

The elbow pads are 30cm apart! Even more unique is that the extensions and the drops on those bars are one in the same; it is essentially a narrow, flat base bar with super-long, wavy, angled-in-and-down that has elbow cups at either end of the base bar. The brake/shift levers were mounted out at the ends of those wavy bars.
