Of course, it's pretty much required in all events for the last couple of years. Ever see any of the pics of the training rides of some of these teams, including Discovery here in the US? Not a lot of helmets.
Of course NOBODY is saying not to wear a helmet (well cept maybe that silly study that prompted this thread)...you gotta do what you feel is right for you. What is irksome are those who think they are somehow smarter or superior to those who make the choice not to wear them...so I tend to return the same attitude in kind...ya know, the old treat people as they treat you. Get all high-n-mighty and uppity and I am gonna laugh at you and not take you very seriously.
