The 2024
Tour Down Under was supposed to be something of a homecoming for
Caleb Ewan. Back in Australia and back in the colours of Aussie-based
Team Jayco AlUla although now, that seems to be in doubt.
With Ewan a notable absentee from the Down Under Classic won by Jhonatan Narvaez on Saturday, it's now been revealed the sprinter pulled out due to illness after struggling in the Australian heat. “We thought that it was better if Caleb didn’t race today because the criterium isn’t really part of the WorldTour race,” Jayco performance director
Matt White told GCN afterwards.
