Cycling

With both his parents racing bikes, cycling was in Luke's blood, and he started competitive cycling at age 13 (1990), He made his first Australian team in 1994 at the World Junior Track Championships at the age of 17. Luke was awarded the 2003 Australian Male Track Cyclist of the Year. He was a member of the 2002 and 2003 Australian World Champion pursuit teams, whilst in the same years also taking home the silver in the individual pursuit.

2004 was a great year for Luke. After defending their team pursuit title in the World Champs in Melbourne, Luke and his team-mates went on to set another world record and win Olympic gold in Athens, defeating the British quartet in the team pursuit. Luke also finished 5th in the individual pursuit, capping off a fantastic career on the track.

Luke's focus is now on racing the road and looking towards the grand tours in Europe. He made his World Road Championship debut in 2004 in Italy. His talent was recognised by his recent signing with Division 1 Team CSC for 2005. We can look forward to more great results to come.
