Luke “Turbo Durbo” Durbridge joins Dan and Johnny fresh off a brutal, blister‑inducing Paris‑Roubaix and drops the news: 2026 will be his final season in the WorldTour. In a wide‑open, emotional, and very funny chat, Turbo reflects on the decision he made quietly back in December, what it meant to roll into the Roubaix velodrome for the last time, and why the sport’s changing speed, pressure, and culture make this the right moment to step away.He breaks down the wildest Roubaix in years — 49km/h averages, puncture carnage, prototype cleats, and the insane teammate heroics happening behind the TV cameras. He talks about the riders who shaped him (including Swain Tuft’s life‑changing influence), the friendships forged in Girona, and what it means to spend 15 straight years with one team from GreenEDGE’s birth to today.Turbo also looks ahead: the Tour de France TTT, a final Nationals in Perth, moving home, and life after racing — from property to family to maybe, one day, the director’s car.And yes… stay tuned for the Turbo tribute song at the end. It’s chaos. It’s heartfelt. It’s Jonesy’s finest work.
