Groupama-FDJ United

Was

The 2026 kit

The 2026 Groupama-FDJ United jersey (made by new Belgian supplier Bioracer, replacing Italy's Alé after nine years) is worn unchanged at the 2026 Tour — the team's regular season kit deliberately reprises the special jersey worn at the 2025 Tour de France, in a slightly simplified form. Base: blue with a vertical gradient — a lighter royal/mid blue across the shoulders and upper chest fading into a much darker navy over the belly and hem; the fade is fairly abrupt ("harsher" than the 2025 version) with subtle tone-on-tone gradiented stripes in the transition zone, which replaced the playful regional icons (Breton ermine, Occitan cross) of the 2025 Tour version. Signature feature: asymmetric sleeves — the LEFT sleeve is solid bright red, the red bleeding up into the left shoulder panel, while the right sleeve stays blue to match the body. On the chest sit the white sponsor wordmarks: GROUPAMA across the upper chest with the FDJ UNITED wordmark directly beneath it, plus a small, discreet French tricolor flag accent marking the team's French registration. On the lower part of the jersey runs the printed message "Active in the fight against doping". Collar is navy; sleeves end in wide laser-cut elastic bands in the jersey's colors (red band on left arm, blue on right). Shorts are dark navy blue (explicitly darker, matching the jersey's lower zone) with white Groupama / FDJ United wordmarks on the thighs and the Bioracer maker's mark. Team bikes are red Wilier Filante SLR machines, a deliberate contrast with the blue kit. Note for illustration: team leader Romain Grégoire does NOT wear this jersey — he won the French national road title on 28 June 2026 at La Tour-du-Pin, so at the Tour he wears the blue-white-red tricolore national champion's jersey with team sponsor logos.
