Overview
- The French teenager, who won Wednesday on the punishing Mur de Huy, finished three seconds ahead of Mauro Schmid with Ben Tulett third.
- At 19 years and 201 days, he became the youngest winner in the race's history and did it on his first start.
- The finish comes on the Mur de Huy, a 1.3 km wall that averages about 10%, so teams fight for position before the last ramp, which Seixas used to launch the decisive move.
- TV images showed blood on his right elbow, though he told reporters he did not crash and said an old cut reopened during peloton jostling.
- He lines up at Liège-Bastogne-Liège on Sunday against Tadej Pogacar and Remco Evenepoel, with his Tour de France selection to be decided after that race.
