"We've never had a profile like this": Paul Seixas, 18, the new star of French cycling?
The youngest rider in the history of the Critérium du Dauphiné seems ahead of his professional times. A climber and rouleur, he already knows he's being compared to the legends of French cycling.
By Christophe Bérard , special correspondent in Issoire (Puy-de-Dôme)Roads that descend and others that climb. This has always been the meaning of cycling. As Romain Bardet offers himself one last dance with a final Dauphiné and a third stage starting in Brioude, his hometown, a young man, like him from the Rhône-Alpes region, will be behind the peloton at the start. Behind, but so far ahead.
At 18, Paul Seixas (Décathlon-AG2R) is skipping stages in his sport like others skip classes. Ahead of everything, he is the youngest rider in the WorldTour, cycling's top division, and also the youngest rider in the history of the Critérium du Dauphiné.
