Turbo Durbo’s sacrifice earns him a hometown win
Throughout most of Luke Durbridge’s cycling career, he dedicated himself to facilitating his teammates’ success. Finally, it was his time to take the honours, thanks to the generosity of his teammate Luke Plapp.
Durbridge, affectionately known in the cycling world as Turbo Durbo, spoke to 6PR Breakfast hosts Millsy and Karl about the race and the pivotal moment when Plapp handed him the win.
“When Plappy caught me with one lap to go, he just said to me, ‘You can take it because you’ve been out here all day, and you deserve it.’ He actually helped me out and gave me the win in the end, which was really, really special,” Durbridge said.
