    But they're going slower, reducing the chance of a knock on the noggin. The rule is they can take
    off their helmets on an uphill stage finish where the final climb is 5 km or longer.

    Plus, I'm under the impression that most of the crashes (by number of riders who crash) occur on the
    fast flat sections where the pack tends to stay together.

    Got Long Hair?

    Good, now go slap on a helmet with minimal venting and ride up the Alex Fraser Bridge in Mid-July in
    the hottest part of the day. Got Heatstroke yet? No? Then do it again...you will have just completed
    the couch potato version of a Mountain Stage in the TdF. Why the H*ll do you think they have 'short
    or shaved' hair? Geez...😉
