Road Handlebar

Currently have the Ritchey Carbon Evo curve bar
It is great on the hoods and drops
But on the top of the bar with the thicker carbon and 4 degree swoop back it is narrower than I like
They are 40cm bars which are usually 36cm in the interior where you would rest your hands on top to climb
Have 128 drop and 85 reach
These are 34cm and my hands don't fit
Have to angle shoulders inwards and it makes things uncomfortable and twitchy

Any thoughts on a bar that might be similar in all other aspects but more traditional on the tops?

Thanks
