Paul Seixas is moving fast and is practically the first rider to announce his programs for the first part of the 2026 season. Ambitious plans...

"We have built my early season around races where I can truly express myself and aim for victory. The Faun-Ardèche Classic, Strade Bianche, and Liège-Bastogne-Liège are races that are close to my heart and whose profile suits my characteristics. The idea is to gain momentum in the two opening races before focusing exclusively on WorldTour events, which will be key moments to test myself at the highest levels. My objectives are clear: raise my arms in victory and confirm my progress," explains the young French talent.

And Decathlon AG2r's sports director Sébastien Joly adds: "Paul's program has been designed to gradually lead him towards his first major season objectives: Strade Bianche and Liège-Bastogne-Liège. The Volta ao Algarve and Faun-Ardèche Classic will be concrete opportunities to aim for victory, while the Tour of the Basque Country will offer him a high-level test before the Ardennes Classics. Paul will be racing in his second WorldTour season; the idea is to offer him a balanced calendar while allowing him to compete with the world's best. The rest of his race program will be announced in early May."
