Caleb Ewan's return to Jayco-AlUla could well help him on the way to achieving a long held objective on Sunday, given that it means he will be riding the elite men's road race at the Federation University Australian Road National Championships ensconced in the most powerful team in the peloton.

Ewan has already claimed one title at the 2024 Australian Championships, the criterium when made his Jayco-AlUla racing debut on Friday, but that's not the key prize he is after. 

“The road race is definitely the one that I've got my eye on and the one I dream of winning,” Ewan told Cyclingnews in Ballarat on the eve of his fourth criterium title. “It would be nice to ride my first season back in the Australian team in the national champs colours so that's been a really big focus for me in the pre-season, I've been really working hard towards that.”
