The new Abus Gamechanger 2.0 aero helmet has already been ridden to four Tour de France stage wins in its opening stage-race - which is no mean feat for sure. But the eagle-eyed amongst you will have no doubt noticed that - even in the Rainbow bands - Mathieu van der Poel himself is still yet to adopt Abus' new lid. A curious situation.
Although I haven't racked up any Tour stages wins, I have been able to spend plenty of time riding in the new helmet - including the UK's early summer heat wave (though that feels like a distant memory now!). From this, I've got a good handle on the changes Abus has made - and I can understand why the World Champion is sticking to the previous Gamechanger model.
