Decathlon–CMA CGM have unveiled the first glimpse of their 2026 kit, posting a striking teaser on X.
The video, shared on 11 December by the current Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale setup, shows a predominantly blue Van Rysel jersey disrupted by a bold red flourish across the centre of the jersey. The team captioned it with the statement: "Change is written with red. 2026 marks a new era for the team: the arrival of CMA CGM as a major partner."
The design underlines the French squad’s transformation following Decathlon’s full takeover and the end of AG2R La Mondiale’s 28-year sponsorship. From 1 January 2026 the team races as Decathlon–CMA CGM under a five-year co-naming deal with the global shipping and logistics group.

CMA CGM’s arrival lifts the team’s budget to around €40 million for 2026, according to the partnership announcement, pushing the project into the same financial conversation as the sport’s biggest outfits. The new red accent directly references the shipping giant while Decathlon blue remains the kit’s foundation.
Van Rysel, Decathlon’s in-house performance brand, will again supply the race wear. The company developed the 2025 kit using wind-tunnel testing and moisture-management fabrics, and is expected to apply the same approach to the new design.
Decathlon–CMA CGM say they "can't wait to see it on the world’s greatest races", with a full reveal of the complete kit expected to be around 17 December. The minimalist teaser drops into a 2026 landscape already rich with bold looks, from NSN Cycling’s Barcelona-inspired patchwork design to the leaked white shorts at Ineos Grenadiers that we covered in more detail in our recent kit round-up.
