I believe that the outer hold positions on the trekking bars equate to being on the drops. Would this be a fair comment? That is give enough aerodynamics to match riding on the drops?

If the drops are uncomfortable for you, do some stretching exercises to increase your flexibility.
My problem is the spare tyre ....
