Paul Seixas becomes youngest winner of Tour of Lombardy at 20

France's young cycling sensation Paul Seixas claimed a historic victory at the Tour de Lombardy on Saturday, becoming the youngest winner ever at the age of 20. The one-day race in northern Italy had been dominated by injured Tadej Pogačar for the past five years. Seixas broke away with around 20 kilometers remaining and triumphed after a grueling six-hour race.

Spanish Vuelta champion Enric Mas finished second, 48 seconds behind the young Italian, followed by fellow Italian Giulio Ciccone. The Tour of Lombardy, established in 1905, is one of cycling's prestigious one-day Monument races. This summer, Seixas achieved notable successes, finishing fourth overall in his debut Tour de France and securing victory in the Flèche Wallonne at 19, becoming the youngest winner in that race's history. He also placed second to Pogačar at the Strade Bianche and Liege-Bastogne-Liege.
