As a sprinter Robbie McEwen was one of the best of his generation. He is the winner of the green jersey at the Tour de France in 2002, 2004 and 2006. He was a rider with determination, speed, agility and a good dose of showmanship. He’s been retired for a couple of seasons now but remains in touch with the sport he loves. Still riding regularly, McEwen has also done his fair share of commentary and when we recently caught up for a post-Tour analysis of the sprinters and how they fared in 2014, we covered a range of topics.

This is the second instalment of an interview with Robbie McEwen in which he discusses the strengths and weaknesses of a selection of sprinters in the 101st Tour de France. As is often the case with McEwen interviews, the dialogue is most verbatim and so we offer both the transcript of his exchange with Rob Arnold as well as a SoundCloud file… (this part of the conversation is from around the five-minute mark of the complete 30 minute interview).

Considéré comme l’un des meilleurs sprinteurs de sa génération, les années 2000, Robbie McEwen s’apprête, à 39 ans, à faire ses adieux au peloton professionnel. Depuis près de deux décennies, le sprinteur australien enfile les succès comme des perles. Dans quelques jours, il sera un jeune retraité, mais aujourd’hui, il reste l’un des coureurs en activité ayant le plus de victoires professionnelles au compteur. C’est donc un grand Monsieur du cyclisme qui va bientôt nous quitter… Dans 15 jours, à l’issue du Tour de Californe, Robbie McEwen, tournera la page et tentera de débuter une nouvelle carrière. Sa reconversion est déjà écrite depuis de longs mois et il ne devrait pas se trouver trop dépaysé dans sa nouvelle activité, celle de « conseiller pour sprinteurs ». Véritable icône en Australie et considéré comme un « mentor » chez GreenEDGE, Robbie McEwen continuera de travailler avec la structure australienne et de transmettre sa science aux jeunes, à l’instar d’Erik Zabel chez HTC, ou de Mario Cipollini chez Katusha. A l’aube de placer le point final de sa carrière, l’homme aux 3 maillots vert est revenu pour Cyclism’Actu sur sa carrière, sa dernière année, son avenir et sur celui du sprint australien. Robbie McEwen peut partir l’esprit tranquille, la relève est assurée avec en chef de file son jeune compatriote Matthew Goss. Entretien.

Robbie McEwen ha ganado casi todo. Casi. Le falta, entre otras, la Milán-San Remo. A sus 36 años y a punto de sumar una primavera más, el australiano no comparte la idea de que su edad pueda ser un impedimento para vencer en 'La Classicissima'.

Change is just what Robbie McEwen needed. His move to Katusha has put the fire back into the veteran Australian sprinter. Not that it’s ever gone away, but McEwen didn’t have his best season in 2008, coming off just five wins and getting blanked in the grand tours.

Voor het eerst sedert 1997, zijn tweede jaar als prof, zit de Vlaams-Australische sprintbolide begin april nog altijd zonder overwinning. Misschien steekt hij woensdag wel zijn neus aan het venster in Gent-Wevelgem?

Some might start minimising the abilities of Australian sprinter Robbie McEwen as the 35 year-old is still without a victory in 2008, after four months of competition. It is odd, and, on the eve of the Spring Classics, McEwen talks about his season so far and his goals for 2008.

Robbie McEwen will have a hard time at this years Tour de France. As the Silence - Lotto team wants to win the overall with Cadel Evans, McEwen will have to battle alone at the stage sprints. But McEwen is a rider who never gives up....

Mighty McEwen's magic sprint hasn't headlined at the Jayco Bay Cycling Classic or the Australian nationals in 2008, as it has in previous years. Instead the Queenslander is delaying his peak fitness as he did in 2007, in the hope of hitting his targets in March.

Doce victorias en el Tour de Francia le contemplan. Robbie McEwen es el mejor sprinter del mundo con permiso de Tom Boonen. Ayer se cayó a falta de 25 kilómetros de la llegada, remontó... y venció con autoridad.

Hij heeft er wel eens aan gedacht een groene sportwagen aan te schaffen. Het is bij denken gebleven. Robbie McEwen vindt groen een mooie kleur, maar als er al een snelle bolide in zijn garage zou komen, dan toch liever een rode of zwarte.

A 34 ans, le meilleur sprinter des Tours 2002, 2004 et 2006 ne semble pas donner prise au poids des années. Au point de se demander s'il ne se bonifie pas comme le bon vin.
