Cycling: Ewan joins Ineos Grenadiers

Rome, 23 January 2025 - Just to stay on topic, he had pulled the sprint a few days ago Geraint Thomas, who had spent himself in a public endorsement addressed to his friend but even more to the runner, while admitting that he was not aware of any negotiations. It is difficult to understand if the Welshman was bluffing, but the fact is that today comes the official announcement: Caleb ewan since 2025 will run with the Ineos Grenadiers.  

Ewan's statements

  The Australian is tied to the British club for a year and with the hope of being reborn after the stormy epilogue of the experience with the Team Jayco AlUla. "This new challenge is really exciting for me, as well as a fantastic opportunity to get back to being competitive thanks to this great team. In 2025 my goal is to win important races again, since several years have passed since the last significant successes. Despite all the difficulties, 30 years and also thanks to the right guidance and experience, I am convinced that I can return to high levels of fitness". Once the euphoria of the unexpected new beginning has passed, for Ewan , Ineos Grenadiers it will be time to plan what to do in the season. "We haven't defined a race program yet and I'm looking forward to talking to the team to do that. It will be exciting to combine ambition with their ideas to create an interesting calendar. Although this formation is often seen only in terms of looking after the general classification of the Grand Tours, I noticed instead a significant potential to support a sprinter. It is no coincidence - confesses the Australian - in recent years I often referred to them in the stages that led to a sprint because their riders always positioned themselves perfectly within the group. This is exactly the type of experience I am excited to work in".

Viviani's future in the balance between road and track

  What the Tasmanian is referring to, who in this first rather troubled part of his winter had also considered the hypothesis of retreat, also concerns Elia Viviani, instead he was left stranded right after the end of his marriage with the Ineos Grenadiers. While his younger brother Attilio find a team, to be precise by renewing with the Solution Tech-Vini Fantini, The 'Prophet' is still unattached and for the moment his adventure on the road seems almost on standby. Better then to think about his old love of the track, which for the 12-16 February already puts an important event on the calendar like the Europeans. Even before that, the Veronese one 25-26 January to be Class 1 di Anadia), the 30st January to the Class 2 di Grenchen and the 31st January e on February 1st to the 4 Days of Berlin. Then, of course, there will be the continental review, which should see Viviani certainly engaged in elimination, a specialty in which he won two world titles.
