Professional career
Bardet turned professional in 2012.[1] He distinguished himself in the 2012 Tour of Turkey especially in the 3rd stage, which was a mountain affair, where he attacked relentlessly to finally take fifth place.[2] He also finished fifth overall in this stage race.[3]
In 2014, Bardet finished sixth overall in the Tour de France. He also wore the White jersey for several days, ultimately placing second to Thibaut Pinot (FDJ) in the Young rider classification.
In 2015, he took a mountain stage victory on the Critérium du Dauphiné, after attacking the leading group at the end of the penultimate climb of the day. He gained a minute on the technical descent, then went back up to Pra Loup to take the solo win.[4]
On 23 July 2015, after a solo breakaway, Bardet won stage 18 of the Tour de France. It was his first ever Tour de France stage victory.[5] The next day, he claimed the polka dot jersey for the first time, after finishing fifth on Stage 19.[6] However, he lost the polka dot jersey to Chris Froome on Stage 20. Bardet finished in ninth place overall, and was awarded the Super- Combativity award. Bardet is rare among professional cyclists in that he is fat-adapted rather than carb loading.
Personal life
Alongside his professional cycling career, Romain Bardet began business studies in 2011, in the Grande Ecole program adapted to high-level athletes in Grenoble School of Management.[7] He should obtain his Postgraduate diploma in Management in 2015.
