Eying the world championships

It's been a great couple of weeks racing and now, since that block, I'm back to training leading into the 2012 Road World Championships and the last couple of races of my season. Training for worlds began after Eneco I started concentrating on TTs and also changed up my routine a little, riding up in Andorra for a bit. I came out with good legs so I went into Tour du Poitou-Charentes pretty confident.

Western Australia's Luke Durbridge is a man on a mission in 2012, having signed on as a neo pro for GreenEdge in their debut season in the UCI WorldTour ranks while wearing the rainbow jersey of the under 23 World Time Trial Champion from Copenhagen. Add to that the fact that the 20-year-old is a member of Australia's world champion team pursuit and Durbridge has quite a task ahead of him in the season ahead – a fact that makes this rider one to watch.
