Luke Durbridge wins men’s Australian road race title at home as teammate Luke Plapp sacrifices fourth win

Eleven years after Luke Durbridge took his first win in the elite men’s road race at the AusCycling Road National Championships, the 33-year-old Jayco-AlUla rider claimed another  – and this time it was in an emotional victory on home roads as the race for green and gold made the move to Perth. 

It may have been a different course, but for a second year running, two Jayco-AlUla riders were out front heading toward the line at the end of the 177km race.
