Overview
- Decathlon–CMA CGM confirmed his place in a social video where Seixas told his grandparents he will ride the Tour.
- He will be 19 years, 9 months and 10 days old at the July 4 Grand Départ in Barcelona, the youngest participant since Adrien Cento in 1937.
- Seixas said he will not race only to learn and that he will aim for the best possible result in his debut.
- His breakout season includes wins at Faun–Ardèche Classic, the Tour of the Basque Country and La Flèche Wallonne, plus runner-up finishes at Strade Bianche and Liège–Bastogne–Liège, where Tadej Pogacar praised his talent.
- French interest is intense as the country has not had a Tour winner since Bernard Hinault in 1985, adding pressure to a high-profile debut.
