Jokes about Lotto Domo TT helmets

Who the hell is the team at Lazer who designed those things? I would rather wear a normal helmet (which it looks like they did during the TTT) They must have gotten laughed at all the way back to their hotel after the prologue! Did anyone ever see the movie Space Balls? Robbie McEwan looked like Darth Helmet in that ridiculously oversized helmets.

Those helmets are so big they should be illegal.

Actually, that could be the start to some funny jokes. You know like the "Your mom is so fat..." jokes. Yes I know it is juvenile but play along for fun anyway!

I'll start:

Those helmets are so big they caused a tidal wave off the coast of California.

Har har har. I crack myself up!

Well, I guess you better inform Paolo Bettini that he looks like a dork too.

Before you start ripping the whiz bangs at Lazer, let's look at the results so far.

Best young rider - Vladimir Karpets, Illes Balears - Banesto
wears a lazer blade helmet

Points classification - Robbie McEwen, Lotto - Domo
wears a lazer blade helmet

Mountains classification - Paolo Bettini, Quick Step - Davitamon
wears a lazer blade helmet

Of course, we can't expect the greater minds at Lazer to get it right all the time. Give them a little bit of rope, they'll figure out that time trial helmet thingy yet.

Yes they are doing well but you have to agree they do look silly and as previously mentioned Lotto must have figured that out because they dropped them in the TTT.

Well this thread is dead. I thought there would be all kinds of comments. Oh well

You aren't the only one who saw the resemblance between them and Darth Helmet. When I first saw them in those helmets it's the first thing I pictured in my mind. Hard to believe that was the most aero thing they could dream up. I would think those things would be hot in a 40k TT with your ears all covered up like that. Kind of like a motorcycle helmet with a tail on the back.

pics!!

Hmmm, that's not as ghastly as I was expecting it to be. Not all that great though.

Robbie McEwen's looks extra large on him for some reason. Having a hard time finding pics of him.

Hell, Robbie McEwen's regular lazer blade helmet looks extra large on him. Strange isn't it? Him with the "big" head and all.

They look like two helmets stacked on top of each other.
