Cycling Australia, Saturday, 20 August 2011
 New South Wales' Caleb Ewan continued Australia gold rush at the 2011 UCI Junior Track cycling Championships in Moscow winning the men's omnium.
The diminutive Ewan's consistency throughout the six events was the key, with the seventeen-year-old claiming five top five places.
In the first three events held on Thursday, Ewan finished fifth in the flying lap (18.262), second in the points race (12 points) and second in the elimination race.
On Friday he claimed third in the 3km individual pursuit (3:24.851), seventh in the 10km scratch race before taking fifth in the 1km time trial (1:05.066). |

We would like to thank SHCC, Ben Mikic Foundation, and the Southern Highlands community for their support and contribution at Caleb's fundraiser last Saturday. We would also like to say thanks for all the donations we have received from members of this community. Thank you to all, who were there to join in the fun, for their words of encouragement and support to help Caleb on his way to Moscow. It was a very successful night and we managed to raise around $10000 !!! The support we received towards the fundraiser, far exceeded our expectations and we are truly grateful.
Caleb is training very hard, giving his 110% and hopes to bring home some medals from the Worlds to make you all proud.
Sincere Thanks The Ewan Family |
