(Reuters) - Australia's Caleb Ewan will head home early from the Giro d'Italia after a difficult campaign to begin preparations for the Tour de France, his team Lotto Soudal said on Thursday.

The 27-year-old sprinter got off to a horror start after crashing in the final moments of the opening stage before finishing last in Tuesday's stage 10, more than half an hour behind winner Biniam Girmay.
