The stripe and the helmet are the same color, so at at least a little bit of manual masking will be required. I'd start by using a BrightnessContrast tool to boost the saturation of the image in order to better separate the sky, shirt and stripe. Then a LumaKeyer to try to get the stripe separated from the shirt. A polygon tool to make a loose traveling matte around the stripe in order to separate it from the helmet and any other highlights. Multiply the polygon by the LumaKeyer with a ChannelBooleans, and use the result of that operation as a mask on whatever color correction is to be performed on the stripe.
