After months of growing excitement as 19-year-old Frenchman Paul Seixas exceeded expectations this spring, his crash and subsequent DNF at the Tour Auvergne-Rhǒne-Alpes raised concerns that his much-anticipated Tour de France debut would be impacted by the after-effects of the fall. With the Grand Départ looming, however, the Decathlon-CMA CGM star says he is ready to race.

In a pre-Tour press conference, Seixas said that he was "fully recovered" from the crash, reinforcing a sentiment he expressed in an interview published by L'Equipe on Thursday.
