'Age is neither a hindrance nor an excuse' – Paul Seixas to ride Tour to France and become youngest rider in almost 90 years

Paul Seixas on stage.

Paul Seixas will make his debut at this year's Tour de France, his team confirmed on Monday, after months of intense speculation.

The Decathlon CMA CGM rider, just 19, will become the youngest starter at the Tour in 89 years as a result, and only the second 19-year-old to take part in the 21st century. However, Seixas will also be looking for a result in the biggest bike race of them all, a race a Frenchman has not won since 1985, although Pauline Ferrand-Prévot won the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift last year.
