Boonen’s Gold and Diamond Helmet
Seeing that a giant gold chain with a huge emblem would probably slow him down, World Champion Tom Boonen is going for some (sorry, but this word fits) bling of a different sort. Boonen will don a helmet that is said to sport gold and diamonds. The helmet made specialy by Lazer is said to be valued at 7k, which isn’t too pricey compared to his bike. Though it probably won’t look like Paris Hilton’s T-Mobile sidekick, the helmet will sport gold and diamonds and of course the arcobaleno (yeah it is italian for rainbow) colors of the world champion.
Boonen will hope that everyone gets a good look at the back side of his helmet when he is back to road competition Sunday at the Ruta del Sol.
