Australian sprinter and multiple Grand Tour stage winner, Caleb Ewan, has signed a one-year contract with the INEOS Grenadiers for the 2025 season.
The dynamic 30-year-old brings a decade’s worth of experience at the very highest level and boasts an impressive palmarès that includes over 60 professional victories.
Renowned for his blistering speed, the Sydneysider has claimed five Tour de France stage wins, five Giro d’Italia stage victories and a stage triumph at La Vuelta a España.
Ewan’s also won multiple stages at the Tour Down Under, UAE Tour and the Tour of Britain along with twice finishing on the podium at Milan-San Remo.
Caleb Ewan said: “This is a really exciting new challenge for me and a fantastic opportunity to get back to my best with the incredible support of the INEOS Grenadiers.
“In 2025, my goal is to return to winning big races. It’s been a few years since I’ve won some of those major events but I firmly believe I have it in me. I’m still only 30, and with the right guidance and the expertise that INEOS brings, I believe I can rediscover my best form here.
“We haven’t finalised my race programme yet, but I’m looking forward to having those discussions with the team. It will be exciting to combine their ideas with my ambitions and together create an exciting race calendar.
“While the INEOS Grenadiers are often seen as a GC-focused team, I see huge potential in the wider group they have to support a sprinter. Over the past few years, I would often reference INEOS in sprint stages because their riders consistently positioned themselves perfectly in the decisive moments. That’s exactly the kind of expertise I’m excited to work with.
“Joining a new team always comes with adjustments, but I already know many of the guys, and everything I’ve heard about how the team operates gives me confidence that the integration will be smooth. I can’t wait to get started and see what we can achieve together.”
Dr. Scott Drawer, Performance Director, INEOS Grenadiers, said: “Caleb’s palmarès, talent and ability to win big races speaks for itself. In our discussions with him we clearly understand where he’s currently at and what his ambitions are. We know that we have work to do together to achieve these, but both relish the opportunity.
“We have made significant changes to our performance team for 2025 and that expertise will be key in enabling not only Caleb but all our riders, to be in the best possible position to challenge at every race.
“Caleb will go straight into a team camp and thanks to our world-class staff we expect his integration to be quick and seamless. We’re all very excited to welcome him and look forward to seeing what we can achieve together this season.”
John Allert, CEO, INEOS Grenadiers, said: “Caleb is a proven winner and one of the great sprinters of this generation. Together we want to write an exciting new chapter for Caleb as an INEOS Grenadier, and the hard work required to achieve this starts today.”
