The Decathlon CMA CGM team rider completed the course in 5 hours, 49 minutes and 28 seconds. He crossed the finish line in Como ahead of Spaniard Enric Mas and Italian Giulio Ciccone.

For Seixas, this was his first victory at one of cycling's five monuments. His success also meant breaking the age record previously held by Italian cyclist Giovanni Gerbi, known by the nickname the Red Devil. The Frenchman became the first winner of the race from his country since Thibaut Pinot's triumph. Le Figaro ↗
After his victory, Seixas described his performance by saying his legs "were having fun" that day. The race took place without the Slovenian dominator Tadej Pogačar, whose absence affected the starting field. Nevertheless, the victory confirmed the rising status of the young Frenchman among the most prominent talents in world cycling. His win ranks among the most notable moments of the season's finale and represents an important result at the beginning of his career. Spiegel.de ↗
