Bettini's Gold Helmet and Tape

[sevencyclist]

I have noticed that Paolo Bettini wears gold helmet and uses gold handlebar tape instead of the usual Quickstep colors. Does anyone know why?

he gets to ride w/ the olympic rings on his future bikes as well and he gets the rings on his sleeves if he chooses.
pascal richard wore the rings the rest of his racing days.

His shoes are golden and his paint job has gold through out - just in case we missed the helmet, bar tape etc.

Flava Flav is his bike mechanic

Enough bragging, Cricket. I won the regional Spelling Bee when I was in the fourth grade, but I stopped wearing the gold shoes at least five years ago...

Forget about carbon and ti. I think the future of cycling is gold frames.
