French Prodigy Seixas Wins Giro Di Lombardia, His First Monument
The 20-year-old Frenchman secured the title as the youngest Monument winner since 1944 with a 19-kilometer solo breakaway, according to race organizers.
- On Oct 10, 20-year-old French prodigy Paul Seixas claimed his first Monument victory at the Giro di Lombardia in Italy, defeating Spain's Enric Mas and Italy's Giulio Ciccone.
- Seixas pulled clear on the Civiglio climb 19 km from the finish in Como, then dropped Tom Pidcock and Ciccone to ride alone over the final 18 km.
- The Decathlon-CMA CGM rider became the youngest Monument winner since 1944 and the first Frenchman to win the Giro di Lombardia since Thibaut Pinot in 2018.
- Earlier, riders staged a five-minute protest before the race to highlight vehicle safety concerns, with Remco Evenepoel stating, "There's too many incidents happening with vehicles in the race."
- The protest followed recent accidents involving Thomas Gloag and Marcel Camprubi at Tre Valli Varesine, as Evenepoel referenced the death of British cyclist Finlay Tarling during the Tour of Portugal.
