I've looked for info on this but have not been able to find an explanation.

Does anyone know the story behind the pink and gold accents on Alberto's helmet?

I apologize for starting a thread for this, but I really want to know.

Your name alone is worth a reply.

Contador's helmet is made from unobtanium and the blood of unicorns, hence the colors. (And that's why he can climb so well.)

I believe they're representative of his grand tour wins with the pink being for his Giro victory and the gold for his Vuelta win. There must be yellow in there too but until your question I hadn't paid his helmet any attention. I just remember from last year the he had the similar accents on the seat tube of his bike (yellow, pink and gold) in the form of wings.

Did you used to post on bicycling.com's forum in a similar name ("Exploding Planet.... or something like that.)?

Thanks for the quick responses guys. Thanks for the name compliment Tibbs. If anyone is interested in what I was asking about there is a good pick here and here.

Mods you can close this thread if you want.

Pink and gold on each side, yellow in the back.
