Yes, over the bolt of clamp. The hole on the bar had to be drilled as close as possible to the upper edge of the body to the hood to be pulled. "On the hoods" hand position so was shot. But in a TT race they are also running with Drops position

Francesco Moser was the most outstanding TT competitor of his time and one of my personal favourite. But when Hinault took part in Giro in 1982, he won both time trial stages in front of Moser. (but this picture above was made in 84)
