Caleb Ewan will be back in action at Tour de France next week. The Australian sprinter is keen to prove that he's still got what it takes to win a bunch sprint. Multiple times if possible. This year's edition will offer up to eight chances for the more versatile sprinters.

"I think I didn't sprint for a win from when we left Denmark until we got to the Champs-Élysées," Ewan tells Cyclingnews. "That’s a long time in between to be suffering through mountains and whatever to get there."

"I think my season, and my career, is judged on wins, and only wins," Ewan says. "So when I said it was the worst start, that was just based on the fact that it took me so long to win a race. I think my form was there, and I had a few close calls, but for whatever reason they just didn't go my way. Results-wise, it was the worst start to year of my career, but I'm motivated to make sure it's not the worst year of my career, and I think I'm able to turn it around."

"It's the only race that I dream about winning at. It's the only race that I can really get 100% motivated for. It’s had its tough moments for me too, but I guess that’s the great thing about sport. There are always hard times, but I'd love to turn my luck around this year. There's no better feeling than winning at the biggest race in the world, and I want to feel it again."
