I believe that Morelon and Trentin both rode Gemini track bikes. I remember seeing both of them at the Grand Prix of the United States in 1972. Both were riding Geminis that were repainted as LeJeunes. They had a distinctive head lug that were drilled out, totally different from the LeJeunes that I saw around LA at the time.
