Coz It's not a cover. I was watching NBC sports coverage of the tour and they asked this same question. It is a helmet designed to be more aero, resulting in substantial advantage - the air is sucked in under the forehead and a specially designed interior sends air over the head and out the rear. It's an extra advantage, that saves a few seconds/bike lengths. |
