Caleb Ewan does not race Australian national championships and report suggests he's currently looking for a new team
Cycling
Caleb Ewan might be leaving Team Jayco AlUla, but at the same time he may not. But at this point of the year this is a very unusual question and subject that is not defined by anyone involved. The 'Pocket Rocket' is not named on the team's rider list and at the moment there is total silence on his situation or where he will race.
This was first noticed a few days ago, Ewan became absent from the riders list on Team Jayco AlUla's website. This was not the case before new year's eve, it was a recent change. It is not an error, it's a purposeful decision as at this point, several days later, he continues to not be on the list of 29 riders - Ewan was supposed to be the 30th. This has led to many questions but very few answers.
However, Velo has talked to sources within the team, one of which said there was no room for him on the team (which is, as far as we know, not true as the team has one open spot) and another said that he was looking around for a new team. The change from 2024 to 2025 seems to mark the key aspect of this, it's possible that Ewan intended on changing teams and his contract that ran until 2025 was changed so as to finish in 2024, but was kept private.
Hence at the time being he would no longer be a rider for the Australian team. This Sunday the riders will take on the Australian national championships and Ewan will not race, neither will he race the Tour Down Under. INEOS Grenadiers, if this were to happen, would be a potential candidate for Ewan's signing but last fall there were also big rumours that he would be joining XDS Astana Team.

- so far, the only things i’ve heard about van der poel’s private life are that he appears to like his girlfriend, golf, and sports cars. if the lamborghini isn’t his then i hope one day he gets one all his own if that’s what he wants. i won’t like him any less.OCexile11-01-2025
- exactly... Holm's comment it's just cheap demagoguery.
maria2024202411-01-2025 - the first two commentators got at this already, but the above article has such a sneering tone i think it’s annoying a bunch of us… Living in WARM, SUNNY PLACES is kinda part of being a competitive cyclist. you know, training in winter and stuff? but even if it WASN’T, sheesh… I like and respect wout, too, but not because (let’s imagine) he drives a 1974 chevy vega and lives in belgium year ‘round.OCexile11-01-2025
- I get him completely, you can be great already but still far from what you could (have) achieve(d). Surprises aside, I think resultswise she’ll do just fine in the new team, after all she never really had to rely on one to get them.Mistermaumau11-01-2025

James2631811-01-2025 - Primoz also “lives” there (no-ne in their right mind would actually physically stay there all year but most of the “residents” probably only spend a few months, if not weeks at “home”.

- Tadej lives in Monaco, Van der poel drives a Ferrari (or Lamborghini), a lot of cyclists get tanned in beautiful beaches... and they are Champs and deserve respect too. It's called "calendar" and money (and/or) career goals to reach.maria2024202411-01-2025
- OCexile, you sound almost contradictory, "greatness that she is capable of" as if it's a question, when you also list all her accomplishments in just 4 years - that already seems kinda great to me! The question seems to be if she can keep this up, especially with a new team. She's a great rider to watch, that's for sure.RidesHills10-01-2025
