37,000m of elevation gain in two weeks – How super talent Paul Seixas is ramping up his training ahead of highly anticipated Tour de France debut

Ahead of one of the most anticipated Tour de France debuts in recent memory, 19-year-old French super talent Paul Seixas has been ramping up his training, taking in 1,489km and more than 37,000 metres of elevation gain at altitude camp in the past two weeks.

In 12 days, Seixas will return to racing for the first time since he almost pushed Tadej Pogačar past his limits at Liège-Bastogne-Liège, at what was the Critérium du Dauphiné – now renamed the Tour Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes – as part of his final build-up for the Tour.
