sport">PARIS – After the turn around that Primoz Roglic received from Tadej Pogacar in the all-deciding time trial of the Tour de France, a discussion arose about the helmet worn by the 30-year-old Slovenian leader of Jumbo-Visma. The image of the hat, which should be aerodynamic, looked unfortunate during the final climb to La Planche des Belles Filles. Performance manager Mathieu Heijboer explains: “I read in articles that it was an experiment, total nonsense.”
