What is he looking forward to at his new team, why did he make the switch and, Luke looks back on his time with Ineos and explains what he learned. Naturally, we keep on going and chat plenty of shit, including a Ride High Country ad–reel, how skin suits are made, it is easier to win Nationals on Jayco, and so much more. Thanks, everyone, for listening in 2023.
