Paul Seixas of France and Decathlon CMA CGM Team reacts after the 113th Tour de France 2026, Stage 6 a 186.2km stage from Pau to Gavarnie-Gedre 1379m.

French President Emmanuel Macron followed stage 6 of the Tour de France and took time to speak with Paul Seixas at the finish, trying to convince the 19-year-old super talent to stay with a French team.

Bernard Hinault was the last French Tour winner in 1985, but Seixas seems to have the talent to win the Tour for France after the Tadej Pogačar era ends. Decathlon CMA CGM hope Seixas will extend his contract with the French team beyond 2027, but UAE, Netcompany Ineos, Visma-Lease a Bike, and others have been courting him in the hopes of winning the Tour with a French rider.
