Biography:
Caleb Ewan has been one of the world's leading sprinters for the past 10 years, and now has a stage victory in all three Grand Tours. He was born in Sydney on July 11, 1994, and began riding professionally with Orica GreenEDGE in 2014.
In his first full pro season in 2015, the Australian punctuated the campaign with a stage victory at the Vuelta a España. He won the Cyclassics Hamburg in 2016 and then seven more WorldTour-level races in 2017, including a first stage of the Giro d'Italia.
In 2018 he began with a stage win at Santos Tour Down Under and then winning Clasica de Almeria, but it was a difficult campaign for another year failing to make the Tour de France squad. He negotiated a move to Belgian outfit Lotto-Dstny, where he raced from 2019 to 2023.
Ewan enjoyed his most successful season in 2019, winning two stages at the Giro before finally making his Tour debut and winning three stages. He completed his year with a win at the Brussels Classic, his 10th of the season. In 2020 he won two more stages of the Tour and in 2021 he won two more at the Giro, but that year's Tour saw him crash out with a broken collarbone on stage 3.
The bad luck continued in 2022 and, although he won seven races, he had ‘the Giro from hell’ and suffered more misfortune at a winless Tour, with his team eventually relegated from the WorldTour.
With Lotto Dstny and riding at the ProTour level in 2023, Ewan was able to return to the Tour and took two podiums in the first week. On stage 13 to the Grand Colombier, the sprinter abandoned the Grand Tour, citing fatigue. However, the team manager criticised his efforts and tensions led to Ewan looking elsewhere for a contract. The team agreed to end his contract a year early, the Australian having earned 31 of his 61 UCI race victories at the Lotto programme. Ewan signed with Jayco-AlUla, returning to the squad where his career began, this time for 2024 and 2025 seasons.
