Paul Seixas: Tour de France Winner 2031

[Salvarani]

Find your sponsors, tell them you need to sign him on a long term deal for 5M a year yesterday.

If Seixas still won't negotiate, bench him for the remainder of his contract.

Yup, that will teach him.

Decathlon has some pretty capable riders to help Seixas with whatever goals, single day stuff and GC goals, if Ineos is flush they could chose to ditch a couple of older riders. Teams can go with UAE model with no designated sprinters and no dedicated riders for a leadout train, bunch of other threads saying something about UAE not having anyone in the top sprint positions, they want it that way.
I think that Decathlon is a great place for him to land..I don't know about sales or their products but I can't help but think that Van Rysel is selling more product. It just looks like a winning situation for everybody.

I thought this was the whole goal of Decathlon, so now they have to put their money where their mouth is

dont try to low ball him like that

He's nineteen, two or three years growing and his body could have bulked out by twenty two and he's become a classics rider too heavy for the mountains.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Send him to Tour de Guadeloupe for the next 2 years if he starts trying any funny business.

They're already calling him Paul Uijtdebroeks

Is this not just a ploy by his agent to get more money? I can't believe Decathlon can't afford to give him a very good contract. All these news stories suggest his agent is trying to put a bit of pressure on.

He'll be 20 this year. Do you think he'll grow and bulk up more at this age? Maybe he'll slightly but his physical development (size wise) should be close to complete when he's 20.

He's not going to bulk up, just get stronger. What cyclist, in the history of the sport, grew out of being a top climber at his age? He's got the stuff. It's not going anywhere. Bar injury, he'll only get better.

Generally yes, but can continue in early twenties.

Interesting, but I'm not sure it has something to do with the morphotype of these 2 riders
