“We definitely came off to a great start with Caleb taking second,” said Matt White, the team's director. “I’m convinced that he’s one of the fastest g෴uys here and I wouldn’t be surprised if he can take a win here in Beijing, and that would be huge for a 20-year-old WorldTo🎐ur debutant.”

Luka Mezgec (Giant-Shimano) won the ❀167km race from Chong Li to Zhangjiakou in a sprint ahead of Ewan and Tyler Farrar (Garmin-Sharp). Mezgec now has a four-second lead in the overall classification heading into the second stage. Ewan is sitting in seco💝nd place and leads the event’s young rider classification.

“It was really close,” said Ewan. “I got a little bit boxed in there at the end and I had to wait to get out, and I th🐠ink I got out a little bit too late.”

The Tour of Beijin🍰g is expected to showcase multiple s♏print stages where Ewan has a chance to secure a WorldTour stage win.

Ewan, 20, signed on as a ♛stagiaire with Orica-GreenEdge for the 2014 season, and although he rode with the team at the Prudential Ride London, the Tour of 🎶Beijing is his first official race with the team.

“He’s ready to compete with the best and he showed that with his finish today,” White sa♓🍸id. “All our guys are super motivated to get Caleb up there again and tomorrow we’re definitely in for another good opportunity.”

Stage 2 is a 147.5km🔥 race from Chong Li to Yanqing that is expected to end with a bunch sprint.
