Pro bike intrigue

Lance Armstrong, Levi Leipheimer and an assortment of pros and friends of pros have been riding in the Colorado Rockies, training fo the upcoming Tour De France. I've explored some of these roads in the Roaring Fork Valley myself and would be riding there now too if I could. Lance has been documenting his rides on Twitter and in one of his latest pictures, I noticed that he and Levi are riding completely unbadged, all black Trek Madones:

-Is this a due to acrimony over the Astana team finance issues?

-Or just to look really, really cool?
