We needed to take the time to carefully analyse all the data and also speak with Paul and those around him. "He has delivered a remarkable start to the season and is already among the best riders in the world. And the best are meant to line up for the biggest race on the calendar: the Tour de France. With great humility, and in a mindset of learning, Paul will start in Barcelona with genuine ambitions to achieve the best possible result overall." Seixas said: "I am truly very happy to announce that I will take part in the next Tour de France. It is a childhood dream, something I have often imagined, and it is now very close. I am only 19 years old but, as I have already said, age is neither a barrier nor an excuse. "This decision, taken in consultation with the team's management, has been carefully considered and became an obvious one over the past few days. My results since the start of the season have given me a lot of confidence; I feel ready and I will have ambitious goals. It is not in my mindset, nor my view of cycling, to line up at the Tour de France simply for the experience, and I will aim for the best possible result overall. "Before that, I will also race the Tour Auvergne-RhΓ΄ne-Alpes in June, on roads I know very well and in a format that will serve as ideal preparation for my first Grand Tour." πŸ“Έ Getty Images #letour #tdf #tourdefrance ## Stats - **Views:** 0 - **Likes:** 11,489 - **Shares:** 0 - **Comments:** 57 ## Tags tourdefrance, tdf, letour --- Copyright (c) Gondola
