Amid rumours of UAE Team Emirates-XRG interest in super-talent Paul Seixas<\/a>, it has emerged that the French teenager has a younger brother\u2026 who has already been training with Tadej Poga\u010dar<\/a>\u2019s team.<\/p>\n

Seventeen-year-old Nino Seixas, two years the junior of his brother Paul, joined UAE Team Emirates-XRG for a week-long internship in December.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He posted about the experience on Instagram at the time, a series of photos and videos in full team kit, writing: \u201cEnd of internship in Benidorm with UAE Team Emirates-XRG where I had a great week full of learning.<\/p>\n

Nino\u2019s brother Paul, who rides for Decathlon<\/a> CMA CGM, has been the subject of speculation over the last week about a potential move to UAE. According to reports in Belgian outlet HLN<\/a>, UAE are interested in signing the 19-year-old, who they see as Poga\u010dar\u2019s successor.<\/p>\n

The Strade Bianche<\/a> runner-up is currently under contract with Decathlon until the end of 2027, with discussions ongoing to extend his stay.<\/p>\n

In December, Paul was among those who commented on his younger brother\u2019s Instagram post about training with UAE. \u201cBg,\u201d he wrote \u2013 a French slang abbreviation of \u2018beau gosse\u2019 meaning handsome boy or man.<\/p>\n

Nino is a first-year junior rider this season for French under-19 club VC Villefranche Beaujolais. Though his talent is unknown, he has made a similar start to his cycling career as Paul, competing in cyclo-cross and joining the same club.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Ouest-France<\/a>, an unnamed member of Nino\u2019s entourage said \u201cthere is no UAE strategy\u201d for the young rider, stressing that his internship was \u201cjust an invitation\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cNino doesn\u2019t have a long cycling history yet,\u201d they said. \u201cThe pressure on Paul is intense, and Nino could be subjected to completely unnecessary pressure because he is Nino Seixas. We want to avoid that at all costs.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis career start will be different. We want Nino to work and progress at his own pace, calmly.\u201d<\/p>\n

It is common for WorldTour teams to invite junior riders to training camps, where they might carry out tests to learn more about their potential. Just because a rider has trained with a team, there is no guarantee they will sign for them.<\/p>\n
