French prodigy Seixas wins Giro di Lombardia, his first Monument

French cycling sensation Paul Seixas clinched his maiden Giro di Lombardia title on Saturday, becoming the first Frenchman to win the prestigious one-day race since 2018. The 20-year-old, representing Decathlon–CMA CGM, outpaced Spain's Enric Mas and Italy's Giulio Ciccone to claim the victory. Seixas attacked 19 kilometers from the finish line in Como, Italy, and held on to his lead to victory.

The race, one of five prestigious Monuments in professional cycling, marked Seixas' third appearance. He had previously finished seventh in the event last year and second at the Liege–Bastogne–Liege. Seixas, who also finished fourth in this year's Tour de France, expressed his excitement saying, "It's crazy, it feels like a dream. Everything went perfect."
