Paul Seixas (born 24 September 2006) is a French road cyclist, who rides for UCI WorldTeam Decathlon CMA CGM Team. He won the junior time trial at the 2024 UCI Road World Championships. Subsequent victories as a Junior, including the 2025 Tour de l'Avenir, and performances in his first two years as a professional cyclist, including being the youngest rider ever to finish in the top 10 of a UCI World Tour stage race at 2025 Critérium du Dauphiné, have led him to be described as "the next great talent" of professional cycling.
Biography
Early years
Born in Lyon, Paul Seixas' surname is indicative of his Portuguese heritage, coming from his great-grandfather. Both of his parents, Emmanuel and Emmanuelle Seixas, were competitive karate athletes, his father having been runner-up in the French national championships. Seixas became interested in cycling watching it with his grandfather on French television.
Paul began riding aged 8 with a local cycling club, Lyon Sprint Évolution (LSE). He was described as absent-minded and shy by his teachers, but he quickly succeeded in cycling, winning numerous age-range categories between 9 and 14 with LSE. He then moved to Anse in 2021 and joined the Vélo Club Villefranche Beaujolais (VCVB).
