It\u2019s a battle that hasn\u2019t been officially settled yet: where does Paul Seixas<\/a>\u2019s future lie? The top French talent from Decathlon CMA CGM<\/a> has his pick of teams, and Visma | Lease a Bike<\/a> is also in the running to sign him. Incidentally, Seixas\u2019s contract with his current team still has one year remaining. The battle to sign Seixas is a fiercely contested one.<\/a> His current team obviously doesn\u2019t want to lose him, but other top teams such as Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe, UAE Emirates-XRG, Visma | Lease a Bike, Pinarello-Q36.5, and Netcompany INEOS would also love to have him on board.At Visma | Lease a Bike, they\u2019re not shying away from it either. Marc Reef discussed it with Irish cycling journalist Daniel Benson<\/a>. \u201cRight now, Paul is under contract with Decathlon, and that\u2019s all I can say.\u201d<\/p>\n

“He’s an incredibly good rider, and I think every team will be looking at him if the opportunity arises, but right now he’s under contract with Decathlon. I think every team would love to have him for the future,” Reef said, remaining somewhat noncommittal.<\/p>\n

Still, the Head of Racing for the Dutch team wanted to explain why Seixas would be a good fit for his team. \u201cI think we\u2019re a very good team. I think we\u2019ve shown over the past few years that we\u2019ve already won a dozen Grand Tours with different riders.\u201d<\/p>\n

“We’ve also shown that we can develop riders\u2014just look at what we’re doing right now with Davide (Piganzoli, ed.), and what Louis Barr\u00e9 is doing, and how we’re doing the right things in the Grand Tours. “I think we\u2019d be a really good team for him, but as I said, he\u2019s still a Decathlon rider,” Reef reiterated in his conversation with Benson.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s a battle that hasn\u2019t been officially settled yet: where does Paul Seixas\u2019s future lie?
