I'm afraid his figures are now a bit above Jonas ones, which doesn't mean he will beat him in a 3 weeks GT like TDF.

Both Tadej and Jonas will really benefit from Seixas attendance at the Tour, if it happens. The media, particularly the rabid French will be all over Prince Paul.
That should minimize the amount of press attention the two big guns would endure and allow more rest.

Not sure if it's been discussed, but Sallanches 2027 and Los Angeles 2028 suddenly almost look interesting.

If Seixas can close the gap a bit to Pogacar and hold him until near the end fuelled by the fervour of the home French fans then we could be looking at the fight for bronze taking place in a different time zone.

Well, it's better to have two mutants instead of one, isn't it?

If they beat each other back and forth, yes.

Cynical but maybe logical take on Seixas, the Tour and a transfer - If Decathlon know he's out the door, then throw him in the deep end and see what happens -

“If they’ve only got him for a couple of years, then maybe they should capitalise on what they have,” she explained. “If he moves to another team, they might as well use him now. And if it causes problems, they can pass that on to another team.”

According to HLN, Visma have opened discussions with Seixas’ agent in the aftermath of Liege-Bastogne-Liege, where the 19-year-old underlined his status as the sport’s most sought-after young talent with a runner-up finish behind Tadej Pogacar.
