[A night road under a deep blue sky with the black outline of a town. A moustached rider in a sea-green high-necked sweater and dark shorts, a lamp on his handlebars throwing a beam of light, rides at the front; a younger rider in a blue jersey with a tricolor sleeve band follows; behind them a car with two yellow headlamps and the shadows of a column of followers lights the road. A moon is caught in a branch at the upper right. LA FRANÇAISE is in pale green capitals with DIAMANT in orange under it; the oval badge of the marque with a spoked wheel stands at the lower left; the race lines are in cream at the lower center.]
