Caleb Ewan took his second victory of this season this Tuesday at Vuelta a Castilla y Leon (1.1). Given the relatively easy parcours of this race, the Jayco AlUla sprinter entered the race as the big favourite and was able to deliver in a sprint against Davide Cimolai and Jenthe Biermans.
The Australian looked back on his race at an interview for the local TV: "On paper, it was an easy event but when you're on the race it's different, it was super hot. The sprint wasn't easy either, it was a bit uphill which suits me very well. My team did a great job. We controlled the race from the start and I'm happy to be able to do a good sprint."
Ewan's team definitely had higher expectations of the man once regarded as the fastest man of the peloton, but with this victory, the hopes are again high towards the last third of the season. With plenty sprint opportunities in coming months, he'll hopefully add to his Tour of Oman stage win and latest one from Castilla y Leon. Ideally, Ewan would like to prove his fast legs at the last grand tour of this year. After all, he'd be returning to the race where the Australian took his first grand tour victory back in 2015.
"Before this race it had been a long time since I had raced in Spain and I am happy to be back. I am very happy to win this race today. It is special to be here, La Vuelta is my favourite grand tour, it is here that I won the first big victory of my career so it is special to race here and hopefully I will be back in Spain in a few weeks," he confirms his ambitions for August.

- Ayuso and Rodriguez are only 22 and 23. Don't pressure it as they're still so sooo young.

- Oh, and yes: I am no psychiatrist/psychologist, but Bruyneel and Texas Turd are both sociopaths. It goes well beyond "protect my world and anyone would" that is the usual zeitgeist of their bullshit.

- Funnier: this website keeps giving credo to their ramblings. In this case, why in any possible way would Boonen want to create a fantasy world to attach himself to these two clowns when more likely he would want to forget he was even there? Laughable.EricJensenRidesBikes26-12-2024

- yeah, that’s a more fair assessment. “reaching mathieu’s level” doesn’t mean you’re planning to replicate his whole career. the former IS doable, potentially. it’s just the latter that likely is not.OCexile25-12-2024
- That’s not entirely true. Every person follows their own development path and peaks differently. Remco and Primoz had hardly started cycling before elite level. Jonas was pretty much under the radzr until he unexpectedly had to take over responsibility at JV. Some guys only get real good in their thirties others have peaked mid-twenties. You can’t tell in advance how and upto what level they will progress, obviously his career might not have MVDPs length but nothing says he could not end up doing a few seasons at his level.Mistermaumau25-12-2024
- well, del grosso is 21 right now. when mathieu was a year younger than that, he was already winning elite level world championships, not U23. i think del grosso will be a very good pro for years, but if he was really going to be the next van der poel someday, he’d already have to be at that level right NOW. van der poel was showing signs of true greatness when he was 15-16. THAT’S what generational talent looks like.OCexile25-12-2024
