Paul Seixas has revealed his early race programme for 2026, and it points towards a Tour de France debut

Young French star Paul Seixas will target Strade Bianche and Liège-Bastogne-Liège in the spring of 2026, with his early race programme indicating that the 19-year-old super talent will go on to make his Tour de France debut in July.

Seixas is considered as a future Tour winner, with France hoping he can end the 40-year gap since Bernard Hinault last won the Tour in 1985. The Decathlon CMA CGM team have created a special project to win the Tour before 2030 but have yet to confirm that Seixas will make his Tour debut in 2026.
