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.

- Ok, I was actually reflecting on the consequences of these threads the last few days so I have a suggestion, if everyone/most agree we could launch a try. If we feel like pursuing a discussion launched on a texas turd related article, we move it over to an unrelated article (best would be one that would not get any attention in itself). Don’t reply, let’s just use the thumbs up function to vote for. Anyone (only the first person then) with a problem or better suggestion who wants to comment can lead us the article of their choice. Also, let’s avoid using the name or commonly used alternatives to it. Hope that helps and we can start making a small difference in 2025 :-)Mistermaumau31-12-2024
- I love that this guy constantly reminds us that he may be the only real miracle story, a heroic comeback to win 2 Tours at the start of the EPO era using only iron injections.
MarkFour31-12-2024 - Don’t agree, a fool is too stupid to make it work and the best rumours need a genius to take hold. Unfortunately the vast majority in the middle are the cause of most. What’s more worrying is that intelligence isn’t the critical factor, most rumours start for a REASON. Also, it isn’t necessarily the person who starts the rumour who is critical, it is what kind or how many persons actually take note and help propogate, here intelligence starts playing a bigger role and reasoning less because we’re all kind of sheep much of the time, just following or passing on what we see/read.Mistermaumau31-12-2024
- How about he just underestimated how well Jonas would react? TP has had the Luckury (sic) that almost no-one has tried or been in a situation to pressure him when he launched long-range attacks, so making them look easy and him invincible, we don’t consider that he is also actually riding close to his absolute limit in such moments (as several of his comments reflecting back reveal), it would only take the comeback of a Jonas or MVDP or half a dozen capable others for his state of mind to be affected, I’m pretty sure during the Tour there is also an element of not going all out just for every stage when there is the GC as a bigger picture. Also, sometimes (even he) an attack is used to feign fake strength, maybe he already felt a bit weak and pokered that an attack would discourage the others, actually maybe he got a little too confident/used to that possibility earlier in the year ;-) It’s quite hard to tell when TP is flailing, there are very preceding signs when he cracks and it happens so rarely that it’ll be hard to discover them :-)Mistermaumau31-12-2024
- Yes, although the rule (needed at the time but very simplistic and thankfully less important and improved since did bring along a lot of new problems.
