Paul Seixas stunned the cycling world for a second time in two days at Itzulia Basque Country with a devastating solo high-mountain attack that netted the young French star another stage win and left him in total control of the overall classification.
Seven kilometres from the top of the decisive late Category-1 ascent of San Miguel de Aralar, Seixas accelerated hard, dropping the rest of the field and easily powering past the remnants of the breakaway.
