What helmet is this? (1)

Actually, that is more a fairing than a real helmet.
Professional teams often used it in time trials, in the past, when the pro’s were not forced to wear a helmet in races.

^^^ Um ya dude, said that already.

I remember when the Italian Pursuit team rocked this thing in 90’s. It’s nothing but a piece of plastic with some straps to keep it on your head. More of a head fairing than an actual helmet.

Ullrich also wore one in the tour on a Bianchi

Actually, Ullie wore the “hat” version (didn’t even have a chin strap).
