Paul Seixas, a rider who runs his own organization created in late 2023 in Rodez, still isn’t assured of lining up for the road portion of the 2026 Tour de France.
The news has been circulating since June 24, 2026: Seixas’ return to road racing has been pushed back. The exact timetable remains unclear, and no firm date has been announced for when he will resume competition.
Seixas runs a one-man structure based in Rodez
Behind the rider is an entrepreneur. Seixas founded his own company on December 14, 2023, registered at 54 rue de la Ferronnerie in Rodez, in the Aveyron department in southern France. He is listed as the company’s manager, according to official data from France’s INSEE (national statistics office) and INPI (intellectual property institute) available on the government open-data site data.gouv.fr. The structure is active.
That setup—unusual in French professional cycling—puts Seixas in a distinctive position: He manages both his sporting career and the legal framework around it.
Uncertainty clouds his Tour de France 2026 prospects
The 2026 Tour de France arrives amid that uncertainty for the Aveyron rider. With his road comeback delayed, there is still no confirmation he will take part in the race’s road stages.
No additional details about medical or sporting reasons for the delay were available at the time of publication. For now, the situation hinges on what Seixas’ camp says in the coming days.
