Wondered what CC makes of Ivan Basso's claim that a helmet is an essential piece of kit?

“My friends, bad day with a crash during training.15 stitches on face and a knock on the shoulder. I was scared but now it's ok,” he wrote, adding: “My Rudy Project helmet saves me today. Hey guys, safety first of all: never forget to use it when you ride on bike!”

I was going to ask where I could get replacement pads for my helmet, but I'll wait until the current frenzy dies down.

Yes.

You've erroneously assumed that I'm talking about "the helmet debate", which I'm not. I'm talking about Ivan Basso talking about a helmet as an essential piece of training gear.

I cannot possibly condone such a frivolous purchase
