Gitane hasn't sponsored a professional-level team since 2010.

Note the black Gitane on top of the car (far left of the picture). Apparently they don't have enough of the white ones right now to provide spares for every rider.
Also funny that Gitane put a "Definitive" decal on the Lightweight rims.

Gee Whiz, eagle eyes!
I hadn't noticed either. Those bikes must be pretty light with Dura Ace and Lightweight wheels.

I "became a fan" of the Saur-Sojasun facebook page - mainly so I can look at the photos they post as well.

Wisey,
Wondering if the rims on these velos are Definitive/Gitane sourced, or just Lightweights with Definitive stickers. I think that this topic has been broached before. However; still a good question. Great pictures!
