He began to enjoy cycling and became a member of the Maindy Flyers, based at Maindy Centre. As a junior, he was a member of British Cycling’s Olympic Development Programme,[4] His father, Courtney Rowe, coaches the Paralympian Simon Richardson,[citation needed] while his brother Matthew Rowe and his sister-in-law Dani Rowe also competed professionally.Track career[edit]Rowe made his European debut as a member of the team pursuit squad who took the gold medal at the 2007 UEC European Track Championships. He finished second in the 2008 European Road Race Championships, and won the Madison, along with Mark Christian, and the silver in the team pursuit at the 2008 European Track Championships.[5]Team Sky (2012\u2013)[edit]  Rowe (in gold) at the 2012 Tour of Britain, wearing the leader’s jersey during the second stage. Rowe won the race’s first stage; his first professional victory.Rowe joined Team Sky for the 2012 season as a neo-pro, having signed a two-year deal.[6][7] He took his first professional victory in September 2012 by winning the opening stage of the Tour of Britain. Rowe made his Grand Tour debut at the 2013 Vuelta a Espa\u00f1a.[8]Rowe represented Wales at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, 2014,[9] and finished sixth in the road race, which was won by teammate Geraint Thomas. Rowe rode the 2014 Vuelta a Espa\u00f1a, and helped Chris Froome to finish second overall.[citation needed]Rowe enjoyed a strong start to the 2015 season with fourth place at the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race and seventh overall at the Tour of Qatar.[10] Rowe then had a breakthrough classics campaign, placing ninth in Omloop Het Nieuwsblad (which was won by teammate Ian Stannard, thirteenth in E3 Harelbeke (won by teammate Geraint Thomas) and an impressive eighth in Paris\u2013Roubaix, ahead of Bradley Wiggins (18th) who was riding his final race for Sky.[11] He was selected in Sky’s team for the Tour de France,[12][13] becoming the third Welsh rider to compete in the Tour after Colin Lewis and Geraint Thomas.[14]By finishing in 167th place in the 2017 Tour de France, Rowe earned the unofficial “lanterne rouge”, a recognition reserved for the last rider to finish. In August 2017, Rowe fractured the tibia and fibula in his right leg, when he jumped into shallow water while whitewater rafting at his brother’s stag party in Prague.[15] Having feared he would be unlikely to race for up to a year,[16] Rowe returned to racing earlier than expected, in late February at the 2018 Abu Dhabi Tour,[17] having originally planned to return for the Commonwealth Games.In February 2020, Rowe signed a new contract with Team Ineos, extending his contract with the team until the end of the 2023 season.[18]Major results[edit]20071st  Team pursuit, UEC European Junior Track Championships1st  Madison (with Adam Blythe), National Track Championships1st  Points classification, Junior Tour of Wales2008UEC European Junior Track Championships1st  Madison (with Mark Christian)2nd  Team pursuit1st  Derny, National Track Championships2nd  Road race, UEC European Junior Road Championships20091st ZLM Tour2nd Madison (with Geraint Thomas), National Track Championships6th Coppa Colli Briantei Internazionale20101st  Madison (with Mark Christian), National Track Championships1st Gran Premio di Poggiana3rd Gran Premio Industrie del Marmo4th Gran Premio Palio del Recioto5th Ronde Van Vlaanderen Beloften6th Overall Tour de Berlin8th Trofeo Franco Balestra Memorial Metelli9th Road race, Commonwealth Games20111st  Madison (with Peter Kennaugh), National Track Championships1st ZLM Tour1st Stage 7 Th\u00fcringen Rundfahrt der U235th Overall Tour de Normandie8th La C\u00f4te Picarde9th Overall Olympia’s Tour20121st Stage 1 Tour of BritainRevolution Series, Round 3, Manchester1st Australian pursuit1st Scratch2nd Duo Normand (with Alex Dowsett)2013National Road Championships5th Road race5th Time trial9th Overall Tour of Qatar2014National Road Championships4th Road race4th Time trial6th Road race, Commonwealth Games20151st Stage 1 (TTT) Tour de Romandie4th Road race, National Road Championships4th Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race7th Overall Tour of Qatar8th Paris\u2013Roubaix9th Omloop Het Nieuwsblad20164th Omloop Het Nieuwsblad5th Tour of Flanders20171st Stage 2 Herald Sun Tour3rd Kuurne\u2013Brussels\u2013Kuurne5th Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race6th Omloop Het Nieuwsblad20181st Stage 3 (TTT) Crit\u00e9rium du Dauphin\u00e91st Stage 1b (TTT) Settimana Internazionale di Coppi e Bartali20196th Dwars door Vlaanderen6th Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road RaceGrand Tour general classification results timeline[edit]Classics results timeline[edit]Legend\u2014Did not competeDNFDid not finishDSQDisqualifiedIPIn progressNHNot heldReferences[edit]External links[edit]Wikimedia Commons has media related to Luke Rowe."},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki9\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Enzyklop\u00e4die"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki9\/luke-rowe-wikipedia\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Luke Rowe – Wikipedia"}}]}]
