At just 19 years old, Paul Seixas will be the undisputed leader of the French team at the Road Cycling World Championships taking place in Montreal from September 20 to 27. He will be supported by a team fully dedicated to his success. After finishing fourth in his first Tour de France at the end of July, Seixas will be joined for the road race scheduled for Sunday, September 27, by two of his Decathlon CMA CGM teammates, Nicolas Prodhomme and Jordan Labrosse. The roster will also include experienced riders Pavel Sivakov and Bruno Armirail, as well as Louis Barré, Valentin Paret-Peintre, and Alex Baudin. In Canada, Seixas will be the main asset for the Blues on a challenging 273 km course with an elevation gain of 3,800 meters. The cyclist from Lyon will also represent France in the 39.2 km time trial on September 20, alongside Bruno Armirail. On the women's side, in the absence of Pauline Ferrand-Prévot, France will rely on Juliette Berthet, Cédrine Kerbaol, and the young Célia Géry, who is 20 years old.
