"Controversial Cycling Helmet Designs Spark UCI Review"
A new bulging cycling helmet design, likened to something out of Star Wars, has caused a stir in the cycling world as it debuts at the Tirreno-Adriatico prologue in Italy. While Team Visma-Lease a Bike hopes for improved time trial performance, the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) has announced a review of its rules around helmet designs in competitions, citing concerns about the focus on performance over safety. Additionally, the UCI has announced a ban on "head socks" built into cycling helmets at international events, effective from April 2.
