1 week Ago By Alasdair Fotheringham
France's Paul Seixas produced a fast finale to claim the Road World Championships junior men's time trial ahead of Belgian duo Jasper Schoofs and the longstanding provisional leader, Matisse van Kerckhove, who finished with silver and bronze. Seixas completed the course a slender six seconds ahead of Schoofs, with Van Kerckove just a second further adrift. Australian William Holmes started strongly but faded to fourth.
Soon to turn pro with the Decathlon-AG2R La Mondiale squad, Seixas has now claimed 14 victories in 2024, including Liège-Bastogne-Liège, the Tour du Pays de Vaud and the Giro della Lunigiana as well as the World's title. The 17-year-old calculated his effort perfectly on the flat, very straightforward 24-kilometre course starting and finishing in Zurich, starting steadily before finishing much more strongly, and he will now go to the junior men's road race later this week as a top favourite. More to come.
