The sprinter Caleb Ewan, stage winner on the three big Tours, has extended his contract with the Lotto-Soudal team until the end of the 2022 season, the Belgian team announced on Wednesday.
In Mallorca, where manager John Lelangue's proteges are currently training, "Caleb Ewan and his teammates Jasper De Buyst and Roger Kluge have extended their contracts until the end of 2022," the statement said.

Caleb Ewan, 25, joined the Belgian team in early 2019 from Mitchelton-Scott.
