Any idea why Lance was wearing last years Giro Pnuemo helmet and not the 'normal' swept time trial helmet?

Just a guess but their may be something wrong (size/fit, graphics, etc) with the '04 model so he used what he had available...

UCI changed the rules this year requireing real helmets not just fairings in time trials.
