Paul Seixas closes his season with one final victory: the young French talent triumphed at the TdF Criterium in Saitama, Japan, ahead of world champion Brandon McNulty and Norwegian Torstein Traeen.

For the twelfth time, Tour de France champions put on a show on the streets of Saitama, a suburb of Tokyo, at the event organized by ASO. Among the riders who participated in the event and thrilled the large Japanese crowd were Oscar Onley, Mauro Schmid, Michael Matthews and Thymen Arensman.

The criterium was decided in a head-to-head battle between Seixas and McNulty, from which the Decathlon CMA CGM rider emerged victorious.
