Tour of Lombardy: Fabulous Paul Seixas! The Frenchman establishes himself as boss and wins his first monument

We will obviously prolong the pleasure and wait for the first statement from Seixas at Eurosport.

Here is the podium of this 120th Tour of Lombardy: 1. Paul Seixas, 2. Enric Mas, 3. Giulio Ciccone.

The icing on the cake is that the Frenchman becomes the youngest winner of the Tour of Lombardy.

It’s done, damn the shivers! At only 20 years old, Paul Seixas has just entered a new dimension thanks to this victory on the last monument of the season. What a joy to have this boy in our ranks, it’s crazy.

Ah, he still asks for gaps from his team, concentration until the end.

He turns around for form's sake but deep down he already knows it's over. 50 seconds ahead on the last descent.

It must be the fire in his head under the pretty Como sun. What a historic Saturday for the young Frenchman.

45 seconds in, he's beating them up.

“Come on Paul, come on Paul!” » It speaks French on the last climb of the day, the public is fully behind the fourth in the Tour de France.

He’s widening the gap again! Magnificent Paulo, magnificent, you are a big one, a very big one.

30 seconds early, the kid will faaaaaaaaay! He will have one last ascent of San Fermo Della Battaglia and his first monument will reach out to him, what madness.

Seixas manages his descent perfectly, he is 23 seconds ahead of his pursuers, notably Enric Mas and Giulio Ciccone.

Ohlala, this thing seems to be well underway. We feel that the boy was keen to make up for it after his failure in Montreal, where he left completely furious with himself.

HE’S FLYING, HE’S ALL ALONE! Seixas dropped Pidcock and Ciccone on the emergency lane and took off alone towards victory.

Only Ciccone and Pidcock resisted Seixas' terrible attack. Isaac Del Toro also popopopopo! Evenepoel is unable to keep up!

PAUL SEIXAS PRESS THE PEDAAAAAAALE! Remco Evenepoel, Paul Seixas, and Isaac Del Toro are there, ready to launch the final battle in a few moments.

Only 30 seconds ahead for the leading group led by O’Connor. It smells like a tree for our courageous people of the day.

Paul Seixas won the first Monument of his career on Saturday by winning the Tour of Lombardy after a dazzling attack 15 kilometers from the finish. In the absence of defending champion Tadej Pogačar, the race kept all its promises with a big fight between the favorites in the last 30 kilometers. But neither Remco Evenepoel, nor Isaac Del Toro or Tom Pidcock managed to respond to his latest attack of madness. At 20 years old, Seixas becomes the youngest winner in the history of the Tour of Lombardy.

Andiamo! The beginning of Civiglio is just scary seen from afar, this is where everything will play out.

The hunters were finally taken back by the platoon, the attempt was not crowned with success. The favorites will therefore indeed fight each other in the last two difficulties of the day: the coast of San Fermo della Battaglia (2.7km at 7.2%) then the famous climb of Civiglio (4.2km at 9.7%) which will serve as a justice of the peace 16.6 kilometers from the finish in the Comasque streets.

Attaaaaaaaque of Matteo Jorgenson at the head of the peloton!

Here we go for today's favorites! The Seixas CMA CGM Decathlon are very well placed at the head of the peloton alongside the UAE as the climb has just begun.

Come on, let's take the air 86 km from the finish! For the moment we have a large leading group which manages to maintain a 2'30'' gap on the peloton where the favorites of this Tour of Lombardy are nestled. UAE, Isaac Del Toro's team, sets a strong pace at the head of the peloton to catch up with the breakaway here on the legendary Madonna del Ghisallo hill, within 15 miles.

Hello cyclixes! We are happy to see you again to attend the last monument of the season where our beloved Paul Seixas will do everything to end the year with a fabulous success. In the absence of the Slovenian ogre, the CMA CGM Decathlon runner has a great card to play on this circuit designed for climbers.
