Did BMC actually take their bikes away from them? If not I bet they just take the BMC logos off of everything and just ride those.

bmc sent an e-mail to the bmc-dealers here the day they announced that they stop their sponsorship to inform everyone.
the deal is that they let astana ride the bikes they still have, but without publicity(they don't want to be linked with the team any longer). so decals away everywhere.
there were rumours they will be sponsored by look for the last 2 months of the season but imagine how much has to be changed(easton is heavily linked with bmc, so nearly all parts including wheels would have had to be changed as well).
