Luke Durbridge confirmed Sunday he would race with his long-time squad, Jayco-AlUla, through the end of the 2026 road season and then retire after the Australian Road National Championships in January 2027.
Across his 17 seasons as a pro cyclist, Durbridge has been a solid fixture with GreenEDGE Cycling, the parent company for Jayco-AIUIa, his entire career. He began as a neo-pro when the team was founded in 2012, a year after winning the men’s junior world title in the individual time trial as an 18–year-old. When Durbridge steps aside in a few months, it will mark the close of the team’s original roster.
“Yesterday marked the 11th and final edition of Paris-Roubaix for Luke Durbridge, who announces that 2026 will be his final season as a professional cyclist, with the Aussie set to hang up his wheels at the Australian national champs in January. Thanks for the ride, Durbs. It’s been wild since 2012,” his team posted to social media after he completed his 11th career Paris-Roubaix.
