Caleb Ewan sprints to Vuelta a Castilla y Leon victory

Caleb Ewan (Team Jayco AlUla) won the bunch sprint to claim the victory at the one-day Vuelta a Castilla y Leon. The Australian out-kicked runner-up Davide Cimolai (Movistar) and third-placed Jenthe Biermans (Arkéa-B&B Hotels) in La Cistérniga.

“On paper, it was a pretty easy looking day but it’s harder when you factor in the heat. At some points, when I looked at my Garmin it was 43 and 44 degrees so it was super hot today. The uphill in sprint made it harder, too, but I think it suited me really well and my team did a great job today. We really controlled the race from the start and then I´m happy I could finish it off,” Ewan said.
