Orica-GreenEdge have named a seven-rider squad for the 2.HC Tour de Luxembourg with the aim of delivering Caleb Ewan to stage win success. The 21-year-old will be backed by a strong sprint train with Paris-Roubaix winner Mat Hayman as the road captain.
"Predominantly we will be targeting stage wins with Caleb Ewan," sport director Matt Wilson said of the team goals. "He gained a lot of valuable experience recently racing at the Giro d'Italia and we've got a really strong group of guys heading to Luxembourg to support him."
Ewan made his Giro debut this month, recording four top-ten results before withdrawing from the race after stage 12 when he finished runner up to Andre Greipel in Bibione.

While the team is aiming for stage wins with Ewan, Chris Juul-Jensen will have freedom to pursue his personal ambitions for a good general classification.
"As far as the general classification goes we have Danish rider Chris Juul-Jensen. I think he can go pretty well here, it will all depends on how hard the climbs are in this area," added Wilson.
Luke Durbridge, who hasn't raced since the Amstel Gold Race in April, explained he is looking forward to pinning on a number and making his first appearance in Luxembourg.
