SAITAMA, Nov 14 — Cycling prodigy Paul Seixas said he can barely believe what he has achieved in a stunning breakout year but he had a warning for his rivals: “I always want more.”

The 20-year-old Frenchman became the youngest winner of the Giro di Lombardia and finished fourth in his debut Tour de France.

He won his first World Tour level events at the week-long Tour of the Basque Country and the Fleche Wallonne one-day classic.

Seixas has been tipped to rule the cycling world and said he has no intention of sitting back and basking in his achievements.

“It’s important to know how to switch and go to another goal,” he said on Saturday in Japan, where he will ride in the Tour de France’s Saitama Criterium.

“If you don’t do that then you stay on what you have and you don’t want more.

“I always want more, and I think the guys who won a lot in their career, they always work like that.”

Seixas, who only turned 20 in September, became the fourth-youngest winner of one of cycling’s prestigious Monument one-day classics with his Lombardia victory.

That was more than two years younger than Tour de France king Tadej Pogacar and Olympic champion Remco Evenepoel when they won Liege-Bastogne-Liege in 2021 and 2022 respectively.
