Saur-Sojasun won't be riding Gitane bikes for 2011. Instead, they will be on Time bikes.

Well, with those horrible Panaracer tyres, their Time bikes won't be going very far or fast..... Twisted Evil

Well, with Saur abandoning ship, we are wondering if our friends in Germany will be continuing on Definitive/Gitane for 2011. That would great, giving the girls and boys in Machecoul an incentive for further development of the line.

Well, I don't remember either. I searched back on our site to no avail. I thought that it was the the Gitane importer or one of the dealers in Germany. It was, by no means, an official squad. I should probably continue searching.

I can recall someone posting some photos of an amateur squad riding gitanes. So, your memory isn't faulty. Wink

I think you are both referring to Alexander Boos...

They switched to Bianchi a few years back, but still sell Gitane.

I know this is just sour grapes, but I did take a small amount of perverse pleasure in Mangel getting pipped on the line by Tommy Voeckler yesterday.



Would have won if he was on a gitane Twisted Evil (maybe? Confused)

Besides, everyone loves it when Tommy wins.
Cool
