Wout van Aert and his team, Visma-Lease a Bike, chose to wear the older Aerohead helmet model at Omloop Het Nieuwsblad to leverage speed advantages in competition. The Aerohead 1.0 features a removable visor and is noted for its user-friendly shape, making it suitable for road racing despite being technically a time trial helmet. This decision, made after performance testing showed faster times with the helmet, reflects Van Aert's commitment to maximizing technical advantages in races.
Van Aert has shown he isn't afraid of going after every possible technical advantage, as shown by his double-disc wheel use at the Paris Olympics.
We tested, and in some cases it is much faster, so it made sense to use them where they are a permitted option.
