Giro have released a limited run of their Ionos road race helmet in Astana and Garmin-Chipotle team colours.

The helmet is the same model worn by 2007 Tour de France champion Alberto Contador (Astana) and top American pro Christian Vandevelde (Garmin-Chipotle).

The special edition lids cost the same as the regular ones (£139.99 SRP), but have a team look which is bound to be a hit with ProTour fans.

The Astana model comes with two Astana die-cut decals which can be applied for the complete look.
