The striking helmet used by Team Visma | Lease a Bike in time-trial at Tirreno-Adriatico and Paris-Nice earlier this year have been given provisional approval by the UCI.
The futuristic design sent the cycling world into a frenzy when they were first shown off to the world in the individual time-trial at Tirreno-Adriatico, where the likes of Jonas Vingegaard, Cian Uijtdebroeks and Dylan van Baarle wore the look. So much was actually being made of the helmet that the UCI actually announced they would investigate further into the design.

- Might be bit isn't. The reason is actually that no one wants to work for free. But that's my point. Incur the costs for a year, make clear that ads are coming and see if it works. No one else has tried this in cycling.Renz15-11-2024

- Someone should do this: create a cycling news site that is free with no ads. Watch the subscriptions like up. Then carefully and slowly introduce ads. I might do it myself. Sites like CUTD are poorly conceived and consequently a mess. Readers will leave as soon as there is a better alternative.Renz15-11-2024
