Paul Seixas crashes, fights his way back bleeding, and abandons the race. All of France is asking: Is his Tour de France in jeopardy? Wrong question. Because behind the 19-year-old is a 40-million-euro project that aims to make him the first French Tour de France winner since 1985. With a plan extending to 2030 and a contract that expires at the end of 2027.
This video isn't about the scrapes and bruises, but about the machine behind them: How Decathlon CMA CGM built a team with a top-5 budget from the old AG2R. Why they're putting an entire Tour team, without an experienced GC safety net, on a teenager. And whether that's a bold gamble or a dangerous bet. Curtain up for the most expensive gamble in French cycling.
