“The road race is definitely one I have my eye on and dream of winning. It would be nice to have my first season back in the Australian team in the colors of the national champions, so that’s been a big focus for me in pre-season, I’ve been working really hard on that,” said Caleb Ewan.

The dispute mentioned by the cyclist refers to the Australian National Road Championships at Federations University, in which he has increasingly established himself with his performance and high performance in the matches. The athlete suffered some setbacks on the route, causing him to almost fall.
“It was very difficult all day. No break really managed to escape, so it was a tough race, but in the last part we organized ourselves for a fast race. It’s great to put the shirt back on and that’s exactly how I wanted to start with the Jayco AIUIa. It’s a good feeling and gives me confidence for the rest of the season”, said the athlete.
Caleb Ewan’s re-entry to his current team came as a result of disagreements with Lotto-Dstny in which he had to terminate his contract before the official agreed deadline. The change occurred due to comments and statements from Stéphane Heulot, CEO of Lotto-Dstny, stating that the cyclist should have performed better as the team provided aid to make this happen.
However, the information did not go down well with Caleb Ewan and his team, in which he responded to the statements as “humiliating” and “quite disgusting”. After the event, the cyclist reported that “the team made it clear that they preferred me to leave”, and thus, he decided to opt for another team.
