Macron urges Seixas to stick with Decathlon
French president Emmanuel Macron was at the Tour de France on Thursday, where rising French star Paul Seixas rode to fifth on a challenging stage 6 in the Pyrenees. After the stage, Macron reportedly urged Seixas to stick with his (French) Decathlon-CMA CGM team, echoing a sentiment he already expressed earlier this year, as RMC Sport reports.
"He's on a good team," Macron said of Seixas during his visit to the Tour, which comes about a year before Seixas' current contract is set to expire, with several high-budget teams reportedly line up to try to secure his signature. [RMC Sport]
