Ewan escapes Tour de Pologne crash with minor injuries
With just the final kick left to unleash on stage 2 of the Tour de Pologne, Orica-GreenEdge sprinter Caleb Ewan was getting ready to pounce when a touch of wheels with Lampre-Merida's Sacha Modolo sent him tumbling to the ground, the crash causing a massive chain-reaction pile-up that stopped all but eight riders. Luckily, Ewan escaped the crash with only minor injuries.
“Caleb came down, it’s really disappointing after that team performance but we are very lucky that he is alright after coming down so hard and fast. We don't know how he is going to feel tomorrow, but he will definitely be there on the start line," team director Matt Wilson said.

Orica-GreenEdge had taken control of the sprint, attempting to deliver Ewan to the stage win and yellow jersey after he came in second on the opening stage to Marcel Kittel (Giant-Alpecin).
“I couldn't have asked any more of the guys today, they did an absolutely incredible job in those last laps,” Wilson said. “I think the lead out was one of the best we have ever done as a team actually.”
