The Australian sprinter Caleb Ewan decided to end his career at just 30 years old, when he had just signed for the Ineos Grenadiers training in 2025.
The head no longer followed. Barely 30 years old and when he had joined British training in the winter Ineos Grenadiers last winter, the Australian sprinter Caleb Ewan announced in a press release on social networks that he put an immediate end to his career after 11 years on the circuit.
In this message also shared by his team, the pocket sprinter (1m65), passed by the Australian team Mitcherton Scott/Jayco, the Lotto-Soudal and INEOS, evokes a certain mental weariness and a degradation of “his relationship with this sport”.
“The truth is that, even when I pass the line in first position, this feeling of fullness behind which you run for years no longer lasts as long as before,” explains the runner from Sydney.
Caleb Ewan’s retirement is all the more surprising since the sprinter seemed to have found his legs of fire at Ineos after two complicated seasons, with two victories in 2025 on the settimana Coppi e Bartali and on the Tour of the Basque Country.
Winner on the three Grand Tour
Caleb Ewan therefore leaves the professional peloton covered with a more than filled list, with 5 stages victories on the Tour de France, 5 on the Giro and one on the Vuelta, making him one of the members of the very select club of the winners of stages on the three Grand Tour.
The Australian also has some pretty classics in his musette, with victories on the Grand Prix de l’Escaut, on the Brussels Classic as well as on the Hamburg Cyclassics. Remain these two second places on Milan-Sanremo in 2018 and 2021 which, as prestigious as they are, may leave him some regrets.
