Caleb Ewan: "Happy to be back to winning ways, I am really pleased with this win"

Lotto Soudal rider Caleb Ewan won the second stage of the Deutschland Tour. The Australian rider was the fastest of the bunch.

“With several climbs along the way, this was by no means an easy stage,” says Ewan. He continues, “Team protected me perfectly and brought me into an ideal position towards the line.”

Ewan is overjoyed since it is his first victory in months, “I am really happy to finish it off here after a long period without victories. This stage win tastes really sweet following some pretty average months. I kept believing in myself, and also my team always supported me. So I am happy to be back to winning ways and give the team this Deutschland Tour stage victory,” said Ewan.

“I knew I was in good shape, but due to a crash in Hamburg, I couldn’t really show it so far. With several climbs, today was kind of a selective stage, but I found my climbing legs again and could hang on without any problems. The undulating terrain made it a chaotic final, but my teammates just did it perfectly. I am really pleased with this win”, concludes Caleb Ewan. He currently holds 30th rank in GC, 12 seconds behind overall leader Filippo Ganna.
