Luke grew up on an avocado farm in the rolling hills of New South Wales near the small town of Comboyne. The school he attended in Comboyne had around 30 students at most. He played the usual sports—soccer, tennis, surfing, and even karate—until he discovered BMX racing at 11 years old. Once Luke found mountain biking, he dropped everything else!
After a breakthrough 2025 season, his goals for 2026 are to finish in the Top 5 Overall of the DH UCI World Cup Series and achieve a Top 5 result at the DH UCI World Championships. His results at the end of the 2025 season have given him even more motivation to keep working hard and become a better version of himself, both on and off the bike, heading into 2026. In his spare time, Luke enjoys surfing and has recently taken up golf. He started surfing when he was young and finds it a great pastime when he’s not training for racing. Golf, he says, has been a fun mental challenge—especially with the number of dodgy shots he hits, “haha”! Luke’s biggest achievement is undoubtedly his win at the 2025 UCI DH World Cup in Lake Placid. He is also proud of his three consecutive Australian DH National Championship titles. This year, he’s going for number four—a huge motivator and a special opportunity to make history by matching Troy’s record of four consecutive titles.

All formats are yet to be decided with plenty of twists and turns still to come in the race for the overall
Ella Conolly strengthened her grip on the Women Elite title race, while Ryan Gilchrist (Yeti / Fox Factory Race Team) claimed a maiden UCI Enduro World Cup victory and Lief Rodgers moved to the top of the Men Elite standings following Alex Rudeau’s disqualification. Elena Frei delighted the home crowd with a breakthrough win, as Hugo Marti Montessinos and Speed Project mathematically secured the Junior Men’s and Teams overall titles respectively in Aletsch Arena-Bellwald (Switzerland).
The battle for the UCI Enduro World Cup titles took a dramatic turn in Aletsch Arena–Bellwald as overall men’s leader Alex Rudeau was disqualified and women’s contenders Raphaela Richter and Winnifred Goldsbury were forced to withdraw, reshaping both championship races. While Sławomir Łukasik seized control of the men’s event and Leif Rogers moved into pole position for the overall lead, Ella Conolly delivered a commanding performance to move within touching distance of securing back-to-back UCI Enduro World Cup titles.
