Paul Seixas confirmed for Tour de France 2026
Decathlon-CMA CGM confirmed that 19-year-old Paul Seixas will make his Tour de France debut on July 4, 2026, when the race starts in Barcelona. Seixas will ride the full three-week race and will be the youngest Tour starter in 89 years. The selection rewards Seixas's breakout results this season and gives Decathlon-CMA CGM a high-profile French talent to showcase on national roads. His inclusion accelerates his Grand Tour development and could reshape the team's tactics across mountain stages and sprint leadouts.
Decathlon-CMA CGM confirm that Paul Seixas 🇫🇷 WILL race the Tour de France 🇫🇷 this year. A bold mobe by the team but it makes sense. It is now a chance for them to focus on realistic goals as we don't know how he'll perform over three weeks. Do you think it's a good move by the team? Or too soon?
Tim Bonville-Ginn7Also, the reveal video where he shares the news with his grandparents is well worth a watch on all the team's social media platforms.
Clint W2I think its a good move, as long as they are smart and ready to pull him from the race early if need be from injury or wear and tear or whatever... even if it ends up only being a week or so of experience will be a benefit in the long run
