They can't use the lightest geasr due to the weight minimums. On the morning of the first Alpine stage the tour officails weighed about 50% of the fields bikes and at lease 5-6 had to ADD as much as 100 grams in weight becasue they were under weight at the time. Even the cannie frames used in the tour are not Cannoindale's lightest becasue the lightest are illegal.
