The use of more aerodynamic time trial helmets in road races is a cycling trend that has found more success at the Grand Tours in 2025, with Picnic PostNL's Casper van Uden and his lead-out utilising the "just faster" equipment to help win stage 4 of the Giro d'Italia.
At the starting team presentation and rider sign-in prior to the stage 4 start in Alberobello, the Picnic PostNL squad all donned their usual road helmets. But when they appeared near the front in the final 5km of racing in Italy, four of them, including the Dutch sprinter, had changed into TT helmets, Lazer's Victor KinetiCore, with visors.
