When confidence and trust are key components of sprinter success, Caleb Ewan seems to have just landed in the right place. Jayco-AlUla Racing director Matt White believes Ewan can return to his best in the Australian team.

Ewan's 2023 Tour de France is a study of contrast between Lotto・Dstny and Jayco・AlUla by his current team. After Ewan left the tough mountainous version of the race in Stage 13, the Belgian team delivered a spray of blunt criticism that was very public. But Jayco-AlUla quickly cited the Tour de France as a positive indicator of where Ewan fits in the sprinter world.

"He was still around the Mark and had not been successful for years, but at the Tour de France, he was still very competitive, not old, and sprint

"Confidence about the people in your corner, confidence about the groups you have around you.

Ewan once found himself confident in the Belgian team and scored 10 wins in his opening year. It included 2 stages for the Giro d'Italia and 3 stages for his debut Tour de France.

However, CEO Stéphane Heulot has no secret that Ewan wants to move on after 2023 and has repeatedly stated in a release announcing Rider's departure."Everyone knows he has a lot of talent, but now we haven't shown it in our team, so it's better to break up."

The 29-year-old from Sydney may only have won in 2023, but he has won 1 win in his career, nearly 60 of them in Australia where he started his career

They welcomed him with high expectations.

"We have a great history with Caleb, we are part of the development team and have been professional with us," White explained.

"He has had a lot of success with us and is trying to turn the clock back and get back to the top of the podium.

Ewan highlights the benefits of returning to the Australian team, and Jayco-AlUla certainly greatly addresses the theme of local heroes coming back in their Welcome Back video.

Dylan Groenewegen is one of the new faces Ewan will meet when he returns to Jayco-AlUla 1. He has been a lead sprinter and Tour de France sprinter for the last 2 years and has caused immediate questions about how 2 sprinters coexist.

White believes he has the answer.

"It's good for both of them. It's good for the team," he told Wielerflits.

"There is no confusion because they both have their own lead-out guys, trains and distinct programs.”
