Caleb Ewan, a former top Australian cycling talent, has announced his retirement, a decision influenced by the challenges he faced in recent years, particularly following his turbulent departure from Jayco AlUla. Ewan, who had a successful comeback with INEOS Grenadiers, experienced brief victories but struggled with his connection to the sport. He expressed that despite returning to winning form, the joy from victories diminished over time, leading to his ultimate decision to retire at age 30 after reflecting on his tumultuous journey in professional cycling.
My experiences of the last seasons, in particular the second half of 2024, has taken a significant toll on my relationship with the sport.
I won again. But the truth is that even when I crossed the line first, that feeling - the one you chase for years - faded quicker than it used to.
