    In any case, the rule is not clear whether it means temporarily removing the helmet or removing the helmet for the remainder of the race.

    This is exactly the problem with a lot of the rules and why people are getting hot about the Porte incident. The commissaires can and do make decisions that are not black and white.
    They've got themselves in a muddle with the Porte incident because people are going to be looking out for the slightest transgression now which rather dampens the spirit of racing IMO.

    During yesterday’s stage 11 to the Imola Motorsport track, Murilo Fischer (FDJ) chose to honour former F1 driver Ayrton Senna with a special helmet. Senna was killed in an accident during the opening laps of the Imola Grand Prix in 1994.

    Precisely. By the end of the season saying 'rules are rules' will earn the poster an permaban.

    Fairly sure the rules state riders must wear team colours. 8)
