While not all WorldTour victories carry quite the same prestige, Paul Magnier (Soudal-QuickStep) certainly would have felt the weight of his second one at the Tour of Guangxi on Tuesday, as nigh-on ten microphones were clipped to his jersey and thrust toward his face ahead of his translated debrief with local media in China.
Sitting down to speak to eventually speak with the anglophone press, Magnier couldn't help but look ahead to 2026 as his red-hot form from the end of the season continued into October and he took down his 15th win of the year, leaving him with the equal second-most victories behind only Tadej Pogačar.
