- there will never be less pressure on him than this year. imaging he does the vuelta this year, the giro next year, and then the tour when pogi is across his prime ... this is when the pressure is exorbitant. this year, nobody expects much from him. if he cracks in week 3, nobody will blame him because he is only 19 and may need another year or two. and from decathlon's perspective, not sending him to the tour would be marketing suicide. they will get millions and millins of publicity exposure with him in the tour. there might not be another chance for such a marketing jeckpot, when he moves on to visma or uae later.
- I agree to a point. Mostly in part of future achievements. Look no further than Primoz, and hoping Cyan doesn't go the same route. There's something to be said for meshing in a new tram that hasn't gone great for departing guys.
- did your AI author forget to write in the text who took over the lead in GC?
- It's going to be a great TdF. Watch out Jonas Vingegaard. Paul Seixas is coming for your # 2 podium spot...
- Paul Seixas's results in the TdF will make it clear if it was a good or bad decision. In the meantime, this is a win for the cycling fans. What's good for the fans is good for the sport.
- I'm 100% against Seixas riding the Tour (and I am a huge fan of his). He should have ridden the Giro or the Vuelta. However, Pogacar won two Tours with a weak team incapable of chasing down breakaways or support in the mountains. So something to keep in mind. He's skilled enough to know which wheels to follow. That said, I'm not insinuating he might win with his current team. He won't unless something happens to Pogacar and Vingegaard, But he will still defend himself well even with a weak team I believe
- Age is a barrier. Nobody is well developed at 19, Crashes can ruin career(Remco). inexperience can derail a campaign. His advisors are stupid and greedy if he is giving these kind of statements.
- Its either fake or a strategy to increase the price of acquisition for rivals and be in the news and pick up some bargains like Simon Yates. Visma dont have the money for a superteam now.
- In think that this is great news for cycling fans, who want to see the best riders competing at the highest level, and it's a great opportunity for Paul Seixas as well. He's already proven that he belongs there, and he can use this race as a learning experience, without putting any great pressure or unrealistic expectations on himself to suceed. I wish him well.
- Visma have to look to the future and bring in new blood. Better than going to UAE where he would be a domestic until Pog retired.. Vin is actually my fav for the TDF this year if he has no injurys .
