Paul Seixas

[Red Rick]

Breaks Pogacar's record on Saint Romain de lerps. Not some obscure babyface recrod from yesTadej, but the one from Euro's 2025.

He's earned this one quickly

Second youngest rider after Evenepoel to have his own thread in this section I guess? Hats off!

 

[Netserk]

last time its worth mentioning seixas in this thread before he needs his own

a hahaha frenchman for the hahaha era

If anything having your own clinic thread is an honour.

See you in 15 years!

I remember when someone threw piss at Chris Froome for doing 6 watts per kilo for 40 minutes on La Pierre Saint Martin!

So after years of paniagua French riders finally have good dieticians!

Today they're riding so fast you won't even be able to hit them with urine anymore.

2028 will be the 30th anniversary of the Festina affair. It's time to start preparing for the party.

 

[SorelyBoy]

He’s going to crush Pogacar within a couple of years and I’m here for it. Unless he signs for UAE, in which case he can feck right off.

Are we not all in for Seixas to take down the Pog?

I'm sick of the little *** already

Naichaca dusted off that CdA of an aircraft carrier again

I really don't understand these kind of w/kg for 1830 m/h of VAM on 7%-ish climb. Even 7.2 w/kg seem too much. For reference, it's like 6.7 w/kg according to Ferrari formula (I realize those calculation guys often give 0.2-0.3 w/kg more than that but not so much more).

Find any excuse to increase it and then overadjust. They also normalize for 60kg which is stealing 0.1 W/kg anyway.

Will podium the Tour.

It is an irregular climb with several descents, so the real VAM is higher than that. I guess Naichaca adjusts for that, but his calculation seems totally over the top.

I believe it stands for Euler, which I've learned is a type of unnecessary jump in figure skating, so I guess that goes for its usage in these calculations as well.

It's mostly used to connect two other jumps

Amazing thread.

 

[Pozzovivo]

Finally a french rider with real talent and real ambition, and people want to pull him down in the mud when he's only 19.

Been setting out traps in France for 40 years since the last badger went in the net, and now the current generation can finally see that it was possible to do well in both time trials and climbs without being on drugs. Allez, Paul!

I'd say something like "I have a better chance of a threesome with those 2 A list actresses than Seixas of getting busted in France" but I did similar about Geraint Thomas winning the Tour de France once.
