Hello all!

Any news on when the time trial helmets (as seen in the tour), will be
avaiable to the public???

The Louis Garneau Prologue helmet has been available for at least a
couple of years. The MET Stradivarius TT is in the shops over here, as
is the LAS. All are protective headwear, not just fairings. I'd expect
the other manufacturers (e.g. Giro) to try to recoup development and
testing costs by offering their new helmets to the public, but some of
the protective aero helmets seen this year in UCI sanctioned events
are old designs (e.g. Brancale and Bell), and are probably NOS from
the manufacturer or distributor, so don't expect to see any on sale.
