Was it just me, or did anyone else make the connection of the Ineos riders to Dark Helmet?

That EF kit. Has to be the worst one in the peloton this year; also a contender for Worst Kit Ever.

Yup, that new Specialized TT helmet looks ridiculous. I sure hope it is providing the “marginal gains” they are looking for.

I'm firing up the VPN and watching something else.
Peacock Premium +. $10 for the month of July. You can select to watch the coverage with no ads and better commentators. Saw nearly all of Lampaert's run.

That Spec helmet looks ridiculous. Like a kid playing with his mom's pantyhose.

Well at least Ineos had the good sense to provide matching HUUUUUGGGE visors for their new oversized TT helmets:

Only 5 minute highlight on GCN.
Maybe because it is a short TT stage.
