I agree but as long as the UCI provides loopholes(uphill finish) rather than rules like the Belgiums
do when racing in Belgium, the 'rule' will be ignored.

The Belgian rule didn't require rigid headgear (hairnets were okay).

The UCI has been surveying commisaires on the new rule. It is not a done deal, but I think TTs still
only require rigid headgear (uncertified, all classes), so fairings are still considered legal for
juniors/women unless the national body has a rule in place.

In that thread they didn't think the peloton in the TdF would use helmets.
