Romain Bardet (French pronunciation: [ʁɔmɛ̃ baʁdɛ]; born 9 November 1990) is a French professional racing cyclist who rides for UCI WorldTeam Team DSM–Firmenich PostNL.[3] Bardet is known for his climbing and descending abilities, which make him one of the top general classification contenders in Grand Tours.

So far in his career, his best results have primarily come on home soil. He has won a total of four stages in the Tour de France in four separate years, running from 2015 to 2017 and then in 2024; he placed in the top ten overall for five consecutive years (from 2014 to 2018) and finished on the podium twice: second overall in 2016 and third overall in 2017. He has also worn the Young rider classification jersey, and won the Mountains classification jersey in 2019 as well as the overall Combativity Award in 2015. Outside of France, he won a stage at the 2021 Vuelta a España, and won the general classification at the 2022 Tour of the Alps.
