Caleb Ewan has been struggling to cross the finish line in the last few stages of the Tour de France. He was last to finish in the tenth stage, and yesterday he finished in the 147th position, almost 39 minutes behind stage winner Jonas Vingegaard.
“I definitely want to finish, but with how I’ve felt the last few days, it’s not looking good,” Ewan told SBS. “I went through a few phases of my legs being really bad, and then they came good, and then, in the end, I was pretty comfortable within the time limit, so that’s good. But I think tomorrow is going to be the hard one, starting uphill.”

Stage 12 heads straight into the Col du Galibier before taking on the Col de la Croix de Fer and then the final haul up the legendary hairpins of Alpe d’Huez. It will be a crucial stage for Ewan, and if he does not complete it within the time constraint, he will be forced to quit the tour.
“I just needed to get into my own rhythm,” said Ewan. “I think when I'm following, I'm either going too hard or too easy and you never get into a really nice rhythm, but then I just made my own pace, and then I came pretty good in the end,” concluded Ewan. He currently holds 156th position in GC, 2 hours and 29 minutes behind overall leader Vingegaard.
