Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

those bikes will either only see private use, get flipped locally or end up in collector rooms...
how are you going to sell real team bikes (not the ones you can actually buy) that are known to be stolen...

you got me wrong... I'm just wondering how they'll flip those bikes...
after all, why go through all the trouble and not make any money or risk getting caught.

Man are you naive. Stolen bikes are on scambay all the time. Bikes are being parted out as you speak. Professional theives don't care if it is 128,000 euros of bikes, plasma tvs or watches or whatever as long as they can sell it.
