This episode is available ad-free on our Friends of the Podcast feed. Subscribe at thecyclingpodcast.comThe fifth instalment of our wall-to-wall, behind-the-scenes look at Paul Seixas’s début Tour de France begins where Seixas’s love affair with cycling and the Tour also started, in Magland, just a few kilometres from the stage 15 finish on the Plateau de Solaison. It was indeed an intense and emotional few days for the 19-year-old, as Daniel Friebe reports in this episode. As always, we hear from team-mates, coaches and opponents, as Seixas underlines his credentials as the man most likely to end Tadej Pogačar’s reign. Of course no one is any closer to knowing when that will be, or indeed how Pogačar will fall or abdicate.

Subscribe at thecyclingpodcast.comIn episode four of our series taking you behind the scenes of Paul Seixas’s début Tour, we begin with a trip down memory lane, to 1987, when another  young Frenchman carried the hopes of the nation. Jean-François Bernard was his name, and we meet him in the fourth instalment of Ça Revient. Other interviewees in this episode include Tour boss Christian Prudhomme, Seixas’s coach Alexandre Pacot, his all-terrain bodyguard Tiesj Benoot – and of course Seixas himself.
