UCI have banned the Specialized head sock thingy and have now said they're reviewing helmets in general as a category. Typical UCI stuff.
Before today's Paris-Nice stage one of the Visma riders was asked about the helmets. The interviewer kept pushing for something more sensational, but all that the Visma rider would say (diplomatically, at least twice) was that last year the UCI said the helmets were fine, but that the UCI changes the rules and/or their mind sometimes. It wasn't hard to read between the lines.
