Sherwen and Liggett being morons is something you can reliably believe in

How so ?
It's ASO who implemented that rule mate  If Sky loose the team competition today, the team that is winning it will wear those yellow helmets tomorrow
Nothing to do with attention seeking by Sky.

Wiggins helmet is the worst one I've ever seen. Terrible idea, ASO.

Unlikely. He is probably saving himself for one of the bigger mountain stages.

According to Cyclingnews it is encouraged rather than a rule. RSNT have said they won't take the helmets if they take the lead.

It could be worse. They could be wearing those condom helmets, painted in yellow.

No one thought to tell Dirk Demol:
https://www.cyclin...-stage-win
In the team classification, the RadioShack-Nissan team is currently sitting in second place, four seconds behind the Sky team from Bradley Wiggins. All riders of the Sky team were lining up with a yellow helmet in Liège on Sunday morning, a new rule from Tour de France organizer ASO. “I didn’t see it in the rule book so it’s something they encourage rather than enforce.
“We’re aiming to finish on the podium in Paris with Andreas Klöden or Fränk Schleck but the team classification is part of our ambition too. But when we lead the team classification we will be wearing normal helmets. We don’t have the intention to wear yellow helmets. We feel that stuff is more for the last day, on the Champs Elysees,” Demol said.
