Chapeau, i thought he will pay for following that seated watt bomb. If he keeps improving this fast, he is the biggest threat to Pogacar. I have been a bit sceptical, because progress is not always linear.

Giving the credit to his team, being humble, yet showing confidence, not cocky, a good head on his shoulders. Paul Seixas is ready
Will he be considered the greatest teenager of all time by the end of the season?
He already is.

The question is: what's next? In an era with Teddy Merckx, Jonas The Dragon Slayer, and The New Merckx, can he be the Yautja? Not to forget The Bull, a kid may come up...who knows...Ayuso, Joao? Meh. Great riders tho'.

Bravo Paul, and merci for bringing hope to French cycling. You all know that I'm the #1 Tibopino fan, Pinot could have won a Tour, Paul will.

I was listening to some french guy analyzing his performance.

Apparently he is missing around 20 watts to be able to follow Pogi. He said he made a lot of progress recently by being able to gain weight while keeping same watts/kg. Which naturally means bigger total watt output.

2 years ago he was only 55kg, now he is around 64kg.

He also said we don't know yet how he performs on high altitude climbs (over 2000m) which the TdF ofc always has a few of.

I suppose gaining weight goes with gaining height in those last two years. It makes sense that at the age of 17-19 he was still growing gaining aerobic power and mass.

He's good enough to be a superdom of Teddy Merckx in UAE team!

You want to create a TDF 2012 type of situation where Seixas has to wait like Froome did?

Seriously though, it's likely that UAE will show $$$ and want to buy Seixas for 2027 already. I do think they could give him Tour leadership already from 2028 on: Pogacar doesn't enjoy the Tour and at some point (after getting at least to #5) will want to decide the whole schedule by himself (so basically classics + Vuelta or Giro).
