Time trial Paris-Nice, Groupama FDJ bikes
Looking through the pics of today's TT, I noticed GroupamaFDJ's Stefan Kung on an unlabeled bike. The team is sponsored by LaPierre.
Just wondering if Kung prefers a different TT bike or is this a prototype or does LaPierre not offer a TT bike in its' line-up?
No labels on rear disc either.
It's a little unusual - anyone know the details?

OK - went back thru all the photos on CyclingNews.com and found a closer shot of T.Pinot. Same bike and can read (what appears to be) LaPierre on the seatmast. So assuming it's their bike , Why not brand it?
Maybe it goes smoother thru th air without decals? Bravo LaPierre!
edit: Dang, that bar set-up looks Devilishly Tricky, more than just twitchy.

Blazer of saddles, trails
It is a new Lapierre bike, though unsure why it’s unbranded:

On one of the road stages someone from the team was riding a plain white frame that was identified as a prototype Lapierre as well.
