They’ve got a new sponsor and will now be called Groupama-FdJ.

And with it comes a 30% budget increase. A French team finally leaving its comfort zone

    That's going to be a challenge on the jerseys.

    It seems a bit churlish to complain about the loss of the best kit in the peloton, so I'll be happy about the improved financial position :D
    It's only a bit of sport, Mun. Relax and enjoy the racing.

    Really annoyed at missing out on last year's jersey bargain now.
    May have to pay full price. :wink: Now, who has the best jersey in 2018?
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    This - coolest kit in the peloton. Hopefully Gallic chic will shine through on new design.

    Colours remind me a bit of Credit Agricole

    Sounds like FdJ are bigger, not no more...

    Clickbait, innit. The way of the internet. In fact, I think more threads should be started in a similar fashion:

    You won't believe what they've done to the Tour de Yorkshire

    Jiffygate sensation - your jaw will drop when you see what's happened now

    Chris Froome in Giro controversy
    It's only a bit of sport, Mun. Relax and enjoy the racing.

    You have seen through my cunning ruse. (I also wanted to give specialgueststar a fright)

    For our older readers, Groupama are basically Gan from the early 90s (and 70s for the ancient ones). Gan merged with another company to form Groupama

    Fitter.Faster. Stronger. Madder :D

    Hope they don't have the green on the jersey

    Surely they still need a good centre forward??
