Default Andrei Kivilev died as a result of injuries sustained in yesterday's Paris-Nice stage.

He fractured his skull, went into a coma and never recovered.

Today's stage is being ridden non-competitively as a mark of respect.

I thought it looked serious when I saw him not moving at all: very unusual.

Default I don't know if if would have mattered but, HE WAS NOT WEARING A HELMET.

I've cracked 3 helmets over the years and not one head.

That is all.

Default Reports say this is an injury that could have been far less...

if he'd been wearing a helmet.

So I'm sure the pressure to mandate helmets will start up again.

Personally, I hate them. I find them too hot (and they look really dorky).

Default I used to not wear one at times until I fell and got 10 stitches a year ago.

Cracked my head on a rock and decided then I was being rather foolish.
