Luke Tuckwell: Australia’s Next GC Hope

from The Domestiques · host Black Sheep

This week on The Domestiques, Matilda Reynolds and Hollywood are joined by one of Australia’s most exciting young cycling prospects, Luke Tuckwell. From growing up in Orange, New South Wales, to wearing pink at the Baby Giro, signing with Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe, and finishing sixth at the Tour de Romandie just one second behind Luke Plapp, Luke’s rise has been ridiculous in the best possible way. The crew dives into his rapid progression, life inside one of the biggest teams in world cycling, racing alongside the likes of Roglič, Hindley and Evenepoel, and what it feels like when Pogačar attacks and you realise you are, in fact, very human.There’s also Giro chaos, Vuelta Femenina brilliance, Tour Down Under rumours, Andorra versus Girona, cycling caps, white bibs, The Wiggles, and the Simon Clarke DM that changed Luke’s life.
