Seixas, 19 years old, took the lead on the final climb and attacked 500 meters from the top to raise his arms with a time of 4h.35.28, at an average of 43.6 km/hour.
Seixas succeeds the Slovenian Tadej Pogacar, winner in 2025, in the list of winners.
"This is really incredible. Last year I was still watching the television broadcast of this race. Now I'm here and I win," Seixas said at the conclusion of the race.
The victory confirms a reality among the world elite. The winner of the Vuelta al País Vasco 2026, with 3 stages included, signed the seventh victory of the season and of his emerging record. The results obtained so far this season allow the French talent and all their fans to dream very high.
After his participation in the Belgian classic, he is getting ready to participate in the Liege Bastogne next Sunday. With what he has demonstrated, Seixas ignites the expectation of world cycling and in the "Decana" he will face Tadej Pogacar, Remco Evenepoel, Wout Van Aert and Tom Pidcock.
