Required by whom? I think the helmet sponsor would be asking hard questions if the rider was pictured without their product too often...

In today's Graun (http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2015/jul/03/utrecht-tour-de-france-contador-nibali-froome) Sir Dave Brailsford reveals he's Utterly Missed The Point...

Just riding around, actually seeing how many kids are out on their bikes, all in their little pelotons going off to school. It’s a fabulous demonstration of what a sport can do
