Paul Seixas is aiming for redemption at the Tour of Lombardy after finishing fifteenth at the World Championships, where he was forced to stop due to cramps in the final stages. Seixas, who rides for the Décathlon-CMA CGM team, expressed disappointment with his performance, suggesting it might have been due to hydration issues. He emphasized that he had never experienced cramping on his bike before and felt it was an unusual mistake for a rider of his age. The Tour of Lombardy is Seixas’s final race of the season, and he is approaching it with renewed determination. Other strong contenders include Isaac del Toro, who placed fifth in Canada, and Remco Evenepoel, who recently claimed victory at the European Championships. According to Nicolas Fritsch, a cycling analyst, these three riders are seen as the main favorites for the race. Fritsch noted that he had initially ruled out Evenepoel as a top contender after the World Championships but changed his mind following Evenepoel’s European Championship win. He also mentioned that del Toro might have a slight edge over Seixas in the event of a small group finish, citing del Toro’s greater speed. However, Fritsch acknowledged that while Seixas could still win, it would be a surprising outcome.
