Cycling without a team car or slipstream: Lachlan Morton, a professional with Education-NIPPO, rode the entire route of the 2021 Tour de France with all transfers - self-supported. The film of the exhausting ride is now available.
Media attention is not just about winning races. EF team boss Jonathon Vaughters therefore deliberately suggested a project to Lachlan Morton that has charm and media potential: the Alt Tour. Every stage and every transfer of the 2021 Tour, 5,550 kilometres from Brest to Paris with over 65,000 metres of climbing in 23 days. The rules promised a real test: no team-mates to provide slipstream, no mechanics and no rest days.
On YouTube, the latest episode of "Rapha Gone Racing" accompanies Lachlan Morton on his journey through France, which features many small obstacles.
