Qaul Seixas He is no longer that young man called to be a promise, but a cyclist willing to break all the schemes and change the rules of the game. The Wall of Huy was not their hunting territory —he prefers long ascents of continuous wear—; However, he showed that he has no rival and that, due to its quality, it can prevail on any terrain and against any opponent.
In that situation, and with our eyes set on Liège, Mauro GianettiCEO of the UAE Team Emirates – XRG, spoke about the victory of the Lyonnais in the Fleche Wallonne, one of the most historic events on the cycling calendar. “He showed he had everything necessary to be a great champion. He assumed his role as favorite: the team controlled the race and he dominated the final climb,” he told Het Nieuwsblad.

Key role in Liège
Gianetti He does not avoid the evidence, he affirms that his performances are surprising and that we must keep an eye on him: “He will be an important rival. At the level he is at right now, he will have a very relevant role in the future of the career.However, Seixas was quick to lower expectations to put his feet on the ground: “Sunday is a completely different race, with a different circuit and different runners.”
As it is, the Frenchman does not hide that he has the proof between his eyebrows: “It is a goal for both me and the team. It’s going to be a great race with Tadej Pogacar and Remco Evenepoel. “I will try to defend myself as best I can, but today is already a sign that I am in good shape.”
Today is a sign that I am in good shape.

With a carousel of 11 ascents and almost 4,400 meters of positive slope, Seixas will start at the second Monument of his career —he debuted at the 2025 Giro de Lombardia, where he was seventh. However, his mentality is not to wait, but to be brave, stand up and try to put Tadej Pogacar on the ropes.
