Luke Durbridge confirmed Sunday he would race with his long-time squad, Jayco-AlUla, through the end of the 2026 road season and then retire after the Australian Road National Championships in January 2027.

Across his 17 seasons as a pro cyclist, Durbridge has been a solid fixture with GreenEDGE Cycling, the parent company for Jayco-AIUIa, his entire career. He began as a neo-pro when the team was founded in 2012, a year after winning the men's junior world title in the individual time trial as an 18–year-old. When Durbridge steps aside in a few months, it will mark the close of the team's original roster.
