Eddy is starting the race on a bike with "Faema" on the down tube!! No "Eddy Merckx" labels yet to be seen on his ride.

I have put four of them up on my web site that I feel are relevant to this thread. From flicking through about 175 sequential photos from this race, it looks to me like the "white" bicycle was a spare. Under each photo, I have given my opinion as to what I think is going on in the image. My opinions are based on nothing more than my review of the photos mixed with a little logic. Your opinion may vary.

Please feel free to respond on or off-list if you think I misinterpreted any of the photos.
