1. Cycling Australia Road National Championships 2013


Route：Geelong Rd, Buninyong 195.6km

1 Luke Durbridge (WA)
2 Michael Matthews (ACT)
3 Steele Von Hoff (Vic)

Bravo Durbo！！


剛開賽，大夥兒以30kph 晃悠，Adam Hansen (Lotto Belisol) 試探一下...喔！peloton 醒著呢


請注意他的把手，很明顯的比肩窄，最近越來越多衝刺高手這樣設定

隨著速度越來越快，衝到了80kph，竟然分出了超高強度的箭頭：Bernard Sulzberger (Drapac Professional Cycling), Blair Windsor (Budget Forklifts), Pat Shaw (Huon-Genesys Wealth Advisers), Cameron Bayly (search2retain), James Mowatt (Vic) and Luke Durbridge (Orica GreenEdge), James Szollosi (ERDINGER ALKOHOLFREI - DOWNER EDI MINING)

這群兔子在前頭領著，拉開7mins


Orica-GreenEdge 隊友頂在peloton 前方設定節奏，讓大家都冷靜下來，幫Luke 防守


前任澳洲國家公路冠軍Jack Bobridge (Blanco Pro Cycling), Lachlan Norris (Raleigh) 試圖從peloton 橋接上前方的兔子


一圈圈繞，兔子也一個個力竭...最後只剩三人


最後一次爬Buninyong，Bernard Sulzberger (Drapac Professional Cycling) 也開掉了，Durbo 啟動原子力引擎獨推


Luke 賽後表示：The last 6 km was one of the most amazing feelings I've ever had.

領先整整一分鐘


把自己燒乾，單飛進終點...最爽了！


Durbo 創造了歷史：史上第一位ITT，公路賽雙料冠軍...激動得抱著老前輩Robbie McEwen


提一下，1min 後peloton 衝終點，Orica-GreenEdge 新成員Michael Matthews 率先壓線

Orica-GreenEdge 根本就是啟用雙保險啊！

Durbo 很謙遜的表示：Everyone has pointed out that that I'm the first, and I guess that makes it even more special. My focus has been to win the time trial. With that done, I wanted to do my job for the team in the road race. My job became to win for the team. I'm happy I could pull off the win. 認份！

Matthews 賽後接受採訪表示：I must have been going ok to get over those climbs with the front guys and still have a sprint in the finish. Luke rode awesome, he was amazing and it took the pressure of us a lot.

最後加映，新出爐澳洲雙料冠軍座駕




2. Orica-GreenEdge 隨後也公佈Santos Tour Down Under 2013 出賽名單

Daryl Impey
Jens Mouris
Luke Durbridge
Matt Goss
Simon Clarke
Simon Gerrans
Stuart O’Grady

精銳盡出


2012 在外征戰一整年的澳洲勁旅Orica-GreenEdge 終於回到故鄉，捍衛Santos Tour Down Under

他們向世界宣告：I'm coming home.


Q 半仙必須承認，這支短片令人悸動...淚在眼眶裡轉，胸口似乎有什麼壓抑要爆發...

我非常希望某一年的環台賽前，在外征戰的台灣勁旅能這麼感性的宣告：我回來了，環台賽冠軍我們守...



3. Cannondale Pro Cycling 亮相！

沙公...都看你演就好啦～
