Hello everyone! When Cyclingnews, and more specifically the wonderful human that is Josh Croxton, first approached me roughly a month ago and floated the idea of writing my own column for their website, I was a young and relatively unknown rider within the WorldTour. Fast forward to the middle of June as I've started to write this first piece and that situation is now very different.
Hi, my name is Luke Tuckwell. I am a 21-year-old Australian professional cyclist for Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe. 2026 is my first year as a rider in the WorldTour and for the past two years I have been studying a communications degree online. So, when Josh initially pitched the idea for my own column, I immediately jumped on it due to my passion for journalism and love for communicating stories and experiences.
