True and indeed the profile of these races seems to fit his strengths so he must be confident going into them

Seixas should immediately alter his schedule to include the 2026 Giro d'Italia now Remco isn't going!

Really impressive once again. He’s gonna be up there with the best already in Liège.
Yes behind Pogacar and Remco he is going to be in the next 2/3 favourites. Incredible for his age.
I have a lot of faith in Healy for Liège.
By the way, for someone so young, all the races confirmed on his schedule are tough. He doesn't have any easy races like Del Toro had last year in Italy.
He´ll be in Strade. That will be very interesting.

I heard somewhere that someone else does all his social media and he doesn't watch the news.
Great news, reminds me of Cole Palmer who takes all the penalties because he's too vacant to understand the magnitude of the occasion and doesn't feel pressure.
It's funny that they won their first pro race on the same climb

Pogacar has always been a huge underrated rider. I wouldn't be surprised if they say he can beat him even this year
. In his first year, despite winning Algarve and California, he was considered underrated. And he was underrated despite his Vuelta performance, winning 3 stages and that impressive performance on stage 20.He arrived at the Tour de France without anyone taking him seriously. In the end, it was the best thing for him. With Seixas, the opposite will happen; he'll surely be on the cover of L'Équipe this year, and some will think he'll be sure in the podium, possibly beating Vingegaad and hoping for a mistake from Pogacar.
Luckily, he seems quite mature, because even Decathlon's DS is saying he'll be a future Tour de France winner. Even so, the French media are going to give him a hard time. For his sake, I hope he doesn't run into any problems and doesn't become another unfulfilled promise in France.
I think it is too early to debate on when he might challenge Pogacar. Tadej is probably the best there has ever been in cycling and it would already be very impressive if Seixas can challenge him once Pogacar is in his early decline.
But I understand we all need to have some hope, and Del Toro and Seixas seem to be the two most likely contenders to challenge at some point.

That's true, not much is being made that while Seixas is shining, great stage win another part of his team is at UAE racing well, with riders on the front of stages, causing pressure, Felix Gall with bold but unsuccessful move on brutal climb, and instead of explosion, Gall still in top ten with a respectable and workable 1:28 off the front. Decathalon looks for real and at 2 races mixing it up. Riccitello looks ok, and Cees Bol has had some good rides at UAE tour. I am not saying it's all coming up daisies for Seixas but many encouraging signs.

its not too early to see that young pup is a phenomenon, the greatest in the sport since pogi. and that he trains as a mature pro and is already very developed. challenging pogi is obviously a big ask, but i do think he will be an elite stage racer next year also in gts

Bingo. Its not hard to see at all without going into semantics hes the real deal. This was good. Ayuso is coming from altitude for Algarve(seixas i think too? but nvm), and Ayuso exceels at these inconsistent, explosive climbs.
Consistency is a real value when youre at this level and talent, and he delivers and delivers. I dont expect Seixas or Del Toro to ever challenge Pogi until at least 2030, but without a doubt, I expect one of them to be the heir to the throne.

What I hope for Seixas now is that he has a good team and people around him with some proper EQ and that they dont get carried away by the French media and so on, and sends him to the Tour this year.
The Tour can be overwhelming in more than one way and extremely demanding as a whole and possible detrimental if ur not ready. I hope they settles with another GT first before the he ever ends up going to the Tour.

I agree if you go on the premise that training and racing your year with everything referenced to Tadej, but often things don't go perfect, Pogacar's record reflects that he has lost races in his career. It's weird how people forget that Pogacar was on the pavement a few times last year and instead of race ending, season interrupted because of injury he pops up and rides away, even with the assistance of magical Shimano geenie right on time. Any of those crashes could have changed the landscape completely. Remco and Vigegaard, Vine to a lesser degree lost while spinning the racing roulette wheel. You don't always win..riders like Paul are right there..
All of these could have gone either way much different. Mistakes are obviously made but UAE has had lady luck in the team bus. It's UAE time until it isn't

Yeah sure, but I meant his entourage and the people influencing those decisions.
