Stage 4 Race report press release from Orica-GreenEdge:
Neo-pro Caleb Ewan has won his second overall title at the Mitchelton Bay Cycling Classic this afternoon.The 20-year-old became the youngest ever winner of the criterium series in 2013 and wrapped up the 2015 edition with a comfortable 17point advantage to Greg Henderson (NZ National Team) in second.
After claiming stage victories on the first three days of racing, Ewan had to settle with winning the bunch sprint for sixth position on the final day after a breakaway of five riders proved to strong to shut down on the technical Williamstown course. Teammate Michael Hepburn, who represented the ORICA-GreenEDGE outfit in the break, went on to finish the stage in second behind a fast finishing Henderson.
“I was lucky to have such a strong team here,” Ewan said. “It feels just as good (as his first series victory) and also to win as a pro. Coming here as a pro you have a bit more pressure on you to perform but coming here before it was a great achievement just to beat the pros. It would have been nice to get (the four from four stages) but at the end of the day it didn’t really matter. It was good to be able to let Heppy (Hepburn) go and race for himself instead of just riding on the front for me.”
Sport director Matt Wilson said the team had over delivered on expectations for the four-day series. “We came into this race hoping to get a stage win and we got three and the overall win,” Wilson said. “We are really happy with the last few days of racing heading into the national championships later this week.”
The final stage’s breakaway, established early in the one-hour race, was driven by Henderson and German Roger Kluger (Total Rush Hyster). Despite the lack of support from their three counterparts, the pair were too strong for a chase group to bring back.
“Henderson and Kluger were really surprising,” Wilson said. “They got away at the start with Hepburn and we thought that was a pretty good situation for us. We had Heppy sitting on at the front and gathered our troops at the back and started to ride. But as we rode the time was just going out and out further and our guys just couldn’t contain it. At that point it became a chance for Hepburn to take out the stage win. He tried to get rid of them in the last few laps but he was heavily marked and Henderson was just too quick in the finish.”

Race report press release from Orica-GreenEdge:
At 20-years of age Caleb Ewan continues to make the world of cycling sit up and listen, taking his third victory in as many starts and cementing his series lead at the Mitchelton Bay Cycling Classic today. This afternoon’s victory in Portarlington, on a course expected to be more suited to endurance riders, has many again comparing Ewan to Australian superstar Robbie McEwen. But another victory tomorrow could put the youngster in a class of his own as the first rider to achieve a clean sweep of races at any one Bay Classic.
Humble in victory Ewan was again thankful for the work of his teammates, which he acknowledged makes his job a lot easier.
“I am a little bit (surprised),” Ewan said of his form. “You never know how your form is going to be coming into the first part of the year. I found this stage tougher (than yesterday) because even if you’re sitting on the wheel you can’t hide from the hills so it was really tough for me. But the main reason is because I have such a strong team here. In the previous years no full pro teams have come here in support of one rider and that’s what they have done for me.”
ORICA-GreenEDGE went into the stage looking to give West Australian Cameron Meyer an opportunity to ride for the stage win but were equally as happy to fall back to the alternate plan of setting up Ewan.
“We came into this race with a few different plans so it took the pressure right off me,” Ewan explained. “Unfortunately for Cam (Meyer) he didn’t get away, there were a few strong guys here, and it worked perfectly for me in the end.”
Sport director Matt Wilson credited the role of Meyer, who switched to the team role when it became apparent today wasn’t to be his day. “We really thought that Cam would be able to get away here and have a good chance at the win but he was just too heavily marked I think,” Wilson said. “But he quickly switched into teammate role and looked after Caleb for the sprint.”
The Mitchelton Bay Cycling Classic wraps up tomorrow in Williamstown.
