French Prodigy Seixas Wins Giro Di Lombardia, His First Monument
Seixas attacked on the Civiglio climb and held off Tom Pidcock and Giulio Ciccone to become the youngest Monument winner since 1944.
- 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.
