After a tumultuous period, Caleb Ewan, has returned to racing after nearly 200 days without pinning a number on and gone straight to the top step of the podium as new team, Ineos Grenadiers, helped him to a seamless beginning.
As the final kilometres of stage 1of the Settimana Coppi e Bartali approached Ineos Grenadiers was firmly in control at the front, stringing out the field with Ewan tucked into the final spot in the line-up of the British team, which hasn’t exactly had to prioritise honing their leadout for a sprinter like Ewan in recent times. The 30-year-old sprinter then launched from behind Ben Swift’s wheel at over 200m to go and from no one could get close to the Australian as he charged to the line – It was a clear-cut winning debut with Ineos Grenadiers.
