- Jan Christen finished second with Lenny Martinez third, as Matteo Jorgenson lost contact on the Mur des Royes.
- The finale included four climbs of the Val d’Enfer, the ascent where Seixas earned European bronze in October.
- The result marks his second professional victory in eight days after a stage win at the Tour d’Algarve, where he finished second overall behind Juan Ayuso.
- He will skip Sunday’s Faun Drôme Classic before targeting Strade Bianche on March 7 and a WorldTour block featuring the Basque Country, Flèche Wallonne and Liège–Bastogne–Liège.
