Career

Early Years

Caleb Ewan was born in New South Wales, Australia. His mother is Korean and his father is Australian. When he was eight years old, he started riding bikes because his dad was also a competitive cyclist. He began racing seriously at age ten.

In 2010, Caleb became the Australian Junior National Road Race Champion. The next year, he won many events at the Junior National Track Championships. He even became a World Champion in a track cycling event called the omnium at the Junior Track World Championships.

Becoming a Pro

In 2013, Caleb started racing for the Jayco–AIS World Tour Academy. He quickly showed his talent by winning several races. He won the first stage and the overall title at the Mitchelton Wines Bay Cycling Classic. He also won races like the La Côte Picarde and the Gran Premio Palio del Recioto. He also won stages in bigger races like the Tour Alsace and the Tour de l'Avenir.

Caleb officially joined a professional team, Orica–GreenEDGE, in 2014. Before that, he competed for Australia at the 2014 Commonwealth Games. He tried to win the road race for Australia, but it was a tough day.

His first professional wins came in 2015 at the Herald Sun Tour. He then won stages and the points title at the Tour de Langkawi. Later that year, he won a stage at the 2015 Vuelta a España, which is one of the biggest races in the world.

Grand Tour Success

Caleb continued to win stages in major races. In 2016, he won two stages at the Tour Down Under in Australia. He also won a stage at the EuroEyes Cyclassics.

In 2017, he had an amazing Tour Down Under, winning four stages! He also won a stage at the 2017 Giro d'Italia, another huge race.

For the 2019 season, Caleb joined a new team, Lotto–Soudal. This was a big year for him. He competed in the 2019 Tour de France, which is the most famous cycling race. He won three stages, including the final stage on the famous Champs-Élysées in Paris! He also won two stages at the 2019 Giro d'Italia that year.

He kept his winning streak going at the 2020 Tour de France, where he won two more stages. In 2021, he added two more stage wins at the 2021 Giro d'Italia.

Recent Races

In 2022, Caleb won seven races, including the Grand Prix de Fourmies. He finished the 2022 Tour de France as the "lanterne rouge", which means he was the last rider to finish the entire race. This might sound bad, but it means he kept going even when it was super tough! In 2023, he won the Van Merksteijn Fences Classic.

After five seasons with his team, Caleb decided to move on. He joined another top team, Team Jayco–AlUla, in 2024. His first win with his new team was a stage at the Tour of Oman.
