AG2R La Mondiale are racing aboard Factor bikes for a second season after switching from Focus framesets for the start of 2017. Last year, Bardet was issued with a custom-painted blue and white frameset for the French Grand Tour but this year is racing on a black and silver frameset.

Along the top tube, a quote 'Take the risk or lose the chance' is written and Bardet's initials sit at the head of the top tube, both of which are design features taken from last year's bike.
Added to the design for 2018 is a stencilled design of Vercingetorix, king of the Arverni tribe on the head tube cluster and a separate design of Puy de Dome on the bottom of the down tube, both celebrating Bardet's home region of Auvergne.
