Paul Seixas, a rider who runs his own organization founded in late 2023 in Rodez, is not yet assured of taking the start in road racing at the 2026 Tour de France.
The update has been circulating since June 24, 2026: Seixas’ return to road competition has been pushed back. The exact timeline remains unclear, and no firm date has been communicated so far for his return to racing.
Seixas runs a one-man structure based in Rodez
Behind the rider is also an entrepreneur. Seixas founded his own company on December 14, 2023, registered at 54 rue de la Ferronnerie in Rodez, in the Aveyron region of southern France. He is listed as the company’s manager, according to official data from France’s INSEE (the national statistics agency) and INPI (the national intellectual property office) published on the French government’s data portal, data.gouv.fr. The structure is active.
The setup—unusual in French professional cycling—puts Seixas in a distinctive position: He manages both his athletic career and the legal framework around it.
Tour 2026 plans clouded by the delayed comeback
The Tour de France 2026 arrives with that uncertainty hanging over the Aveyron-born rider. With his road return delayed, there is, for now, no confirmation that 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. The situation is expected to evolve in the coming days, depending on announcements from those around him.
