Despite a fall and a bleeding elbow, the 19-year-old prodigy was able to arrive in the last meters accompanied by three teammates. The punchers were there in the final sprint and it was the French phenomenon who won thanks to an exceptional last climb. He won his first classic, in Belgium, ahead of Mauro Schmid (Team Jayco AlUla) and Ben Tulett (Visma Lease a Bike).<\/p>\n<h2>Paul Seixas, roi de Huy<\/h2>\n<p>Considered the \u201cWemby of cycling\u201d, the Lyonnais became the youngest winner of the Fl\u00e8che Wallonne. Before Li\u00e8ge-Bastogne-Li\u00e8ge on Sunday (against Pogacar and Evenepoel in particular), Paul Seixas discovered the Mur de Huy (between 10 and 26%) in competition, and he has already shown himself to be the best, with mastery and talent, to finish five meters ahead of his competitors. After a gradual acceleration, then a powerful dancing start, he left everyone there.<\/p>\n<p>He is the 8th Frenchman to win this event. There were also 5 Tricolores in the Top 10 at the finish. Paul Seixas succeeds a certain Tadej Pogacar, before the duel which will oppose them on Sunday.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-placeholder u-placeholder-twitter\" data-vendor=\"xtwitter-3cVkYrxq\">\n<div class=\"embed-wrapper u-hidden\">\n<div>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" align=\"center\" data-lang=\"fr_FR\">\n<p lang=\"fr\" dir=\"ltr\">PAUL SEIXAS WINS THE WALLON ARROW! \ud83c\uddeb\ud83c\uddf7<\/p>\n<p>The Frenchman won at the top of the Mur de Huy ahead of the Swiss Mauro Schmid and the Briton Ben Tulett! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/BG25xMZP7G\">pic.twitter.com\/BG25xMZP7G<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Cycling Legend (@CyclingLegend_) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CyclingLegend_\/status\/2046959031604949159?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 22, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"p-xxl@xs border-color-grey-200 radius-l@xs cmp-placeholder u-hidden\">\n<p class=\"mb-m@xs text-l@xs\">By clicking on<span class=\"ml-xxs@xs font-weight-bold@xs\">\u201cI accept\u201d<\/span>you accept the deposit of cookies by external services and will thus have access to the content of our partners.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-xl@xs text-s@xs\">More information on the Cookie management policy page<\/p>\n<p><button class=\"mx-auto@xs flex@xs items-center@xs justify-center@xs gap-xxs@xs c-btn c-btn--primary cmp-button\">I accept<\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>The ranking of the Fl\u00e8che Wallonne 2026<\/h2>\n<p>The complete ranking<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>SEIXAS Paul &#8211; Decathlon CMA CGM Team 4:35:29<\/li>\n<li>SCHMID Mauro &#8211; Team Jayco AlUla\t0\u00a0: 03<\/li>\n<li>TULETT Ben &#8211; Team Visma | Lease a Bike<\/li>\n<li>COSNEFROY Beno\u00eet &#8211; UAE Team Emirates &#8211; XRG &#8221;<\/li>\n<li>SKJELMOSE Mattias &#8211; Lidl &#8211; Track 0 : 08<\/li>\n<li>BAUDIN Alex &#8211; EF Education &#8211; EasyPost &#8221;<\/li>\n<li>IZAGIRRE Ion &#8211; Cofidis 0: 10<\/li>\n<li>MARTINEZ Lenny &#8211; Bahrain &#8211; Victorious &#8221;<\/li>\n<li>GR\u00c9GOIRE Romain &#8211; Groupama &#8211; FDJ United &#8221;<\/li>\n<li>KRON Andreas &#8211; Uno-X Mobility &#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Wednesday, the Fl\u00e8che Wallonne gave us the opportunity to meet Paul Seixas Decathlon CMA CGM, announced among the favorites.
