Paul Seixas
“Running like this is what I love”
“Winning with a lead of over a minute feels really good and rewards all the hard work we put in beforehand. Before the race started, I had marked this stage as a key one—it was the toughest of the week, and we’d planned to attack the day after the time trial. The goal was to create gaps and then manage the race over the long haul. My teammates did a great job all day; they positioned me well when it mattered. I didn’t hesitate to attack—the worst thing is being afraid to take a chance. Racing like this is what I love; it’s why I ride.”
