Mandatory Helmets

When did that mandatory regulation come into force.?

I was watching the 1998 Tour just now and noticed that Several riders
were not wearing helmets, notably Cippo - until he wiped out on two
successive stages and was sporting one the next day.

Here's Davey's preferred headgear, although he does keep an ES1048 handy
for when he absolutely needs a helmet.
