Mark Renshaw believes "Caleb Ewan will have to prove himself" to get Tour de France selection ahead of Dylan Groenewegen at Jayco AlUla

Caleb Ewan will return to his roots in 2024, the Australian is set to rejoin Team Jayco AlUla. With the team already having one of the peloton's premier sprinters though, leadout legend and fellow Aussie Mark Renshaw believes Ewan could have his work cut out to gain selection for the biggest races.
“The relationship at Lotto obviously played out pretty toxic. With that, it’s a wise decision to leave the team and have him on a team that’s motivated to have him on board," Renshaw says of Ewan's move back to the Australian-based team in conversation with SBS Sport. “I think the dynamic between Dylan Groenewegen and Ewan will be something that’s very interesting to watch. Obviously, both sprinters have big objectives, there are three Grand Tours, but the biggest is the Tour de France.”
Both sprinters are multiple-time Grand Tour stage winners and with Michael Matthews also on the team, another potential fast man is also thrown into the mix. "In my opinion, it will go to Groenewegen as he’s already in the team, Ewan will have to prove himself,” says Renshaw. “In the past, I’ve been in teams with two big sprinters and I think the team will give them an opportunity to prove themselves before the Tour de France."
“Overall, I think it’s a good fit for Caleb. I think it will be a good atmosphere back in an Australian team," he concludes. “The leadout for both Ewan and Groenewegen will be interesting. Luka Mezgec is their most experienced rider, it will be interesting to see where he goes and if he does test runs with both riders before the start of the season.”

- I counted 16 riders under 24 out of 43 that started. Once was only 16 ! Two of the top riders are Zoe and Schreiber and both under 23 yet that have done 50 min races in the past with the elites so I think it's just bad clock management. Let them race 50 freakin' minutes! One more lap could have made a big dffierence most times in the podium and winner.frieders319-11-2024

- I think this was because there were junior women in the race. If a race has junior women am pretty sure it has to be less than 45 minutes. I believe a rule is coming in for next season that will fine organisers that don't put on a junior women's race a fine equivalent to the prize money. So fingers crossed we should see more longer elite and junior women's races from next season.NorrisHippocampe18-11-2024
- Of course he CAN. Big salary in cycling is not when you win but when they talk about you (and your team / sponsors). For every news about Jonas, MVdP or Wout there are 10 times more(!) news about Pidcock (like everyday for last 2 months?). Since cycling is advertising sport not competitive sport (in terms of from money comes from) Pidcock is winner and GOAT - change my mind. ;-)averagecyclist18-11-2024
- Why do the women CXs keep getting short changed with the length of theor races? They could have easily done another lap to put them at 50 minutes which is their time limit. Yet another CX race where they fail to reach this when they had a chance to. Come on ... the math isn't that hard to figure out lap times and divide into 50 min!frieders318-11-2024
- All pro cyclists are massively underpaid! The amount of riding and physical exertion they put their bodies through is crazy compared to other sports. I can't think of any other sport where you are physically active at a very high level of power output for hours on end each day.Pogboom17-11-2024
- When I was working for Starkist/Heinz my manager quit. So the next week my group was put under another manager. During our first meeting he asked if there was anything we needed to tell him. I said that I would be out the following week on vacation. He said "I don't know if I can let you go on vacation". I replied, "You can't tell if I can go. You can only tell me if I can come back".Sweep17-11-2024
