Caleb Ewan

Caleb Ewan was born in New South Wales to a Korean mother and Australian father. At the age of eight he started bicycle racing, inspired by his father, who was also a competitive cyclist.{{Cite web|url=http://www.korea.net/Events/Overseas/view?articleId=633|title=Korean-Australian Cyclist Caleb Ewan (16) won Australian Track Championship : Korea.net : The official website of the Republic of Korea|website=www.korea.net}} He started competitive cycling at the age of ten.{{Citation needed|date=July 2019}} In 2010 he became the Junior National Road Race Champion. The next year he won multiple disciplines at the Junior National Track Championships and he became World Champion omnium at the Junior Track World Championships.

In 2013 Ewan started racing for Jayco–AIS World Tour Academy. That year he won the first stage as well as the general classification of the Mitchelton Wines Bay Cycling Classic. He also won the La Côte Picarde installment of the UCI Nations Cup U23, the Gran Premio Palio del Recioto, and stages in the Tour Alsace, Thüringen Rundfahrt der U23 and the Tour de l'Avenir. At the end of the year he finished fourth in the Men's under-23 road race at the 2013 UCI Road World Championships.

Ewan signed pre-contract terms with {{UCI team code|OBE|2014}} in October 2013, joining the World Tour team as a stagiaire in August 2014 and as a professional in October.{{cite web| url=http://www.greenedgecycling.com/news/caleb-ewan-set-to-join-orica-greenedge-in-october-2014| title=Caleb Ewan Signs With ORICA-GreenEDGE| access-date=7 February 2014| archive-date=3 March 2016| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303235622/http://www.greenedgecycling.com/news/caleb-ewan-set-to-join-orica-greenedge-in-october-2014| url-status=dead}}{{cite web |url=http://www1.skysports.com/cycling/news/15264/8983697/caleb-ewan-signs-for-australian-team-orica-greenedge-on-pre-contract-agreement |title=Caleb Ewan signs for Australian team Orica-GreenEdge on pre-contract agreement|date=21 October 2013 |website=skysports.com |access-date=2 January 2015}} At the beginning of August, before joining {{UCI team code|OBE|2014|nolink =yes}}, Ewan took part in the road race at the 2014 Commonwealth Games, competing for Australia. The Australian team tried to control the race for Ewan's sprint, but were unable to do so. After attempting a solo chase of the three leaders, he fell back and was the last man to finish: he finished in 12th place out of 140 who started, over 11 minutes behind the gold medallist Geraint Thomas (Wales).{{Cite web|url = http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/tough-day-for-ewan-at-commonwealth-games|title = Tough day for Ewan at Commonwealth Games|date = 4 August 2014|access-date = 10 March 2015|website = Cyclingnews.com|last = O'Shea|first = Sadhbh}}

His first professional wins came in the second and third stages of the 2015 Herald Sun Tour. A month later, in the Tour de Langkawi he then took his second professional win and the lead in general classification. Though he lost the overall lead of the race, Ewan won a second stage (the third victory of his career) and the points classification.{{Cite web|url = http://www.procyclingstats.com/rider.php?id=168753&c=3&statistic=pro_wins|title = Caleb Ewan|access-date = 10 March 2015|website = ProCyclingStats}} He was named in the start list for the 2015 Vuelta a España,{{cite web |url=http://www.cyclingfever.com/editie.html?detp=view&_ap=startlijst&editie_idd=MjYwNzQ= |title=Vuelta a España 2015 |access-date=21 August 2015 |work=Cycling Fever}} where he won stage 5,{{cite news|last1=Windsor|first1=Richard|title=Caleb Ewan takes maiden Grand Tour victory on Vuelta a España stage five|url=http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/racing/vuelta-a-espana/caleb-ewan-takes-maiden-grand-tour-victory-on-vuelta-a-espana-stage-five-188665|access-date=1 September 2015|work=Cycling Weekly|date=1 September 2015}} but he withdrew from the race during stage 10.{{cite news|title=Ewan pulls out of Vuelta a Espana on stage 10|url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/ewan-pulls-out-of-vuelta-a-espana-on-stage-10/|work=Cyclingnews.com|publisher=Immediate Media Company|date=31 August 2015|access-date=31 August 2015}}

For the 2019 season, Ewan signed with {{UCI team code|LTS|2019}}.

Retrieved 17 July 2019. He won stage 16 in Nîmes, narrowly beating Elia Viviani, as well as the final stage, crossing the line ahead of Groenewegen on the Champs-Élysées.

At the Tour de France, he won two more stages, on days three and eleven.{{cite news|url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/tour-de-france-2020/stage-11/results/|title=Tour de France: Caleb Ewan wins stage 11 as Peter Sagan is relegated for dangerous sprint|first=Daniel|last=Benson|publisher=CyclingNews|date=9 September 2020|access-date=9 September 2020}} That year, he totaled seven wins.

In 2022, he again took seven wins, including the Grand Prix de Fourmies one-day race. He was the "lanterne rouge" of the 2022 Tour de France, having finished over 5 hours down on overall winner Jonas Vingegaard.{{cite web | url=https://cyclingtips.com/2022/07/caleb-ewan-has-locked-down-the-tour-de-france-lanterne-rouge-classification/ | title=Caleb Ewan has locked down the Tour de France Lanterne Rouge classification | date=23 July 2022 }} He only won one race in 2023: the Van Merksteijn Fences Classic.

After five seasons with {{UCI team code|LTS|2023}}, Ewan left the team due to disagreements with the new team manager Stéphane Heulot.{{cite web | url=https://www.stickybottle.com/latest-news/caleb-ewan-on-his-messy-lotto-exit-i-was-warned-about-the-new-manager/ | title=Caleb Ewan on his messy Lotto exit - "I was warned about the new manager" | work=stickybottle.com | date=26 January 2024 | accessdate=20 April 2024}} He then joined UCI WorldTeam {{UCI team code|JAY men|2024}} on a two-year contract. His first success with the squad was the opening stage of the 2024 Tour of Oman.{{cite web|url=https://www.cyclingnews.com/races/tour-of-oman-2024/stage-1/results/|title=Tour of Oman: Caleb Ewan sprints to stage 1 victory|first=Daniel|last=Ostanek|website=CyclingNews|publisher=Future plc|date=10 February 2024|access-date=10 February 2024}}

At the beginning of the 2025 seasons , Ewan sought an early release of his contract. Negotiations with UCI WorldTeam {{UCI team code|XAT|2025}} collapsed, prompting his move to {{UCI team code|IGD|2025}}.

On 6 May 2025, he announced his retirement from professional cycling. {{Cite web |title=Instagram |url=https://www.instagram.com/p/DJTfvV8MBov/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== |access-date=2025-05-06 |website=www.instagram.com}}
