For the 2023 season, the Groupama-FDJ jersey has been given a new look. While blue, white and red have dominated in recent years, the new jersey is a darker shade of blue with some red and white accents.
"The Groupama-FDJ design has been completely redesigned and plays with different shades of blue, with the French flag taking pride of place on the zip," reads the Alé press release. The Italian clothing company is also on board with Bahrain-Victorious and BikeExchange-Jayco in 2023.
The main sponsors Groupama, an insurance group, and FDJ, a lottery company, are printed on the chest of the Groupama-FDJ jersey. The clothing supplier is printed on the right shoulder. The bikes for Thibaut Pinot's team will also be provided by Lapierre in 2023. The French bike brand can be seen on the sleeve ends. The team's trousers are also in a dark blue colour.
The Groupama-FDJ jersey will remind football fans of the jerseys worn by the French national team. The Equipe Tricolore will also be playing in dark blue outfits at the World Cup in Qatar.
Groupama-FDJ has been riding under this name since 2018. The racing team was founded back in 1997 as La Francaise des Jeux.
