Dubai Tour Kask Helmet schwag - we have winners!
These were popular! Over 2,500 of you bunged your name in the hat for a chance to win a 333 Limited Edition Kask Protone helmet just like Team Sky were sporting in the Dubai Tour.
If only we could give you all one. Actually, scrub that. Imagine the number of stamps we'd need. Anyway, we had two. And the first two names out of the hat are johnc123 and psychle, so it's those lucky readers who'll be getting one in the post. Tough luck if you missed out but there's more competitions on the way, so stay tuned!

Cast your mind back a few days and you’ll remember we featured some very cool limited edition Kask helmets that Team Sky will be using at next week’s Dubai Tour. Guess what? We’ve got two to give away and you could win one of them, all you have to do is comment in below.
The 333 Limited Edition Protone will not hit the shops for another few weeks, so (Bradley Wiggins / Geraint Thomas aside) you’ll be the first in the UK to get your head in one… oh, and you won’t have to pay either.
Why 333 you ask? Well, 3 is the Crown Prince of Dubai’s favourite number and we’re guessing a limited edition of 3 or even 33 would be a bit too limited. The Crown Prince has dibs on helmet 003.
We first saw the Protone at the 2014 Tour de France and we reviewed it earlier this month - yes, we thought it was very good indeed. We were particularly impressed by the coolness and level of comfort it provides, especially considering that it’s a helmet designed largely with aerodynamics in mind.
Having a cool head is likely to be a distinct advantage in a race like the Dubai Tour where the day time temperature can easily touch 30°C. One other neat touch is that You can stow your glasses securely in the helmet’s vents when you’re not wearing them. KASK reckon this does not increase the drag.
The competition closes on the last day of the Dubai Tour (7th February) and two lucky winners will be announced soon after. Usual Schwag Grab rules apply.

Good luck!
road.cc's founder and first editor, nowadays to be found riding a spreadsheet. Tony's journey in cycling media started in 1997 as production editor and then deputy editor of Total Bike, acting editor of Total Mountain Bike and then seven years as editor of Cycling Plus. He launched his first cycling website - the Cycling Plus Forum at the turn of the century. In 2006 he left C+ to head up the launch team for Bike Radar which he edited until 2008, when he co-launched the multi-award winning road.cc - finally handing on the reins in 2021 to Jack Sexty. His favourite ride is his ‘commute’ - which he does most days inc weekends and he’s been cycle-commuting since 1994. His favourite bikes are titanium and have disc brakes, though he'd like to own a carbon bike one day.
Who in their sound mind wants to support athe CCP dictatorship that doesn't respect fair trade, the international rule of law, intellectual...
Enjoyed the humour in your write up. Stunning paint job too. Loved the glasses will provide" "a better view in the peloton." Cheers!
Glad to see the BBC is still doing a bang-up job of alienating left and right in equal measure. Keep up the good work, Auntie.
I don't think that entirely fair. A whole new range of gearing options and an entirely new model that shares virtually nothing with the others....
I didn't realise X / Twitter still had 37 users!
You put a (not really a) hashtag on it - that automatically qualifies it as a rant.
It's not the casual health effects I'd be worried about - more the ones with a long-term commitment.
In what?
Turns out they prefer video evidence to prove beyond doubt a car is parked on zig zag lines; a still won't do...
Mix of good and not so there. Overtaking stuff all sounds sensible (if people remember...), not sure on the compulsory PPE....
