This alternative calendar that EF Education have done has been the most inspiring thing in cycling for a long time and must have gained them a lot of exposure. Lachlan you are a legend!
And this is putting EF on the map in a way unique from every other team out there. These videos, more than any others on TH-cam, encapsulate my love and joy for cycling. Keep it up, EF, Rapha, and Lachlan!
And yet, Phinney still doesn't have a contract renewal for next year; at least not that has been made public... Hope they sign him again so he can continue to participate in these alternative races.
Lachlan is a absolute beast. I mean road racing the beginning and end of the season and all these alternative events that are so specialized and he’s dominating and almost placing in them his first go around. He’s also very inspiring and just a really cool humble dude. EF should sign him in perpetuity
Let me add my voice. This series is awesome. Best thing for bike racing since the derailleur. EF has gotten more mileage out of this than all the tour victories combined. Brilliant. And Lachlan, you are perfect for this. We are absolutely not tired of hearing you talk. Keep it up, you are the best ambassador for cycling ever.
Thank you to EF and Rapha for one of the most amazing cycling short films to date. All of the alternative races have been the most fun to watch this year. Lackey is just the right guy for this . Looking forward to the last one and next year I hope. Again thanks.
0:39 Did the guy just throw his bike over the other guy in the water? 👍 I bet you’re a star in your local CX club when you start throwing your bike over people in a carry section. 🤣
Jonathan Poon Agree. Not sure if I’d appreciate someone throwing a bike over my head though, not matter what the intention. Oh, nevermind, I wear a helmet.
I thought for certain that it was something else that splashed in the water, until I went back and watched it again. Like seriously, WTF? Who throws a bike over someone’s head?
Which bike doesn’t matter. Lachlan a ride any where rider what a champion. Thank you EF for allowing this to happen to get much closer to the cycling community
Morton is a superb embassador for cycling in general and I love what EF are doing in trying to connect grass roots cycling, with us mere mortals, to the elite echelons of the sport. Lachlan Morton, with Alex Howes and team EF are doing a great job here and I hope some of the other pro peloton teams take up the idea.
The way that Lachlan has brought the world tour to events with a smile and huge enthusiasm and humility has been really inspiring - an alternative calendar isn't for everyone but at times listening to Lachlan this year its really re ignited is love of riding. Thanks to EF, Rapha and the other riders...and I can now say I rode a race with a world tour pro...cheers.
EF have found something with this alternative calendar. I had the good fortune to meet and chat with the crew at Dirty Kanza this year and what a cool down to earth group. Cyclists connect with this. Well done lads.
Oh yes, EF (Gone Racing tour), Rapha, Lachlan are the most relevant (for me at least), entertaining, motivating & only thing I look forward to on TH-cam..
Wrong Lachlan, we love hearing you talk. This schedule is amazing and makes it so real for you to ride the same courses as us mere mortals. It makes cycling cool when someone like me can talk about DK experiences with someone like you. Love it. JV is once again breaking new ground for professional cycling.
Love, love, love the alternative calendar. More please! Lachlan, you are amazing. Rapha, welcome back. EF Education, thank you for your sponsorship and returning me to the beauty of the sport.
i just watch these videos you've done with the biggest smile on my face. it doesn't matter that i can't do these epic rides. when i do the lame-a$$, flat centuries that i do, i think i still have the same elation and joy. and certainly it encourages me to do more. when lachlan talks about giving back, he's not making it up. he really is. thanks to him and all those responsible for these vids.
So good to see someone so passionate about a sport that is so diverse, and not afraid to be out of their comfort zone. We'll done Lachlan and EF You are truly an inspiration to cyclists everywhere.
Epic!! The whole series has been - and have been looking forward to this one. And I agree when Lachlan talks about not having road teams, etc just teams that ride anything & everything!!
That was a really great episode. Lachlan's chilled-out enthusiasm is infectious! I'm off out for a ride on my hardtail mtb now. Up UCSC trails and down to the ocean!
Lachlan, EF & Rapha have done amazing with the alternative calendar & Gone Racing series. Truly inspiring. The 3P is on my doorstep & its a brutal race. Respect to Lachy for his 4th place on a first attempt. Let’s hope other riders follow in his tracks & more pro teams adopt this approach. 👍🏻
This guy is epic!!!! EF cycling please keep this alternate thing going damn. This will inspire people to ride bikes way more than any tour does. These are accessible bike events that everyone can do. EF please keep this going I love it!!! and love Lachlan Morton!! That is cyclocross LOL wow.
Another great video with the unique Rapha signature. Lachlan M is a super talented rider who wins race on and off road. Yet he comes across as a humble champion who speaks a good talk with a big smile on his face. That's refreshing!
So cool, Lachie!! You simply keep inspiring all of us while having fun and tons of great cycling efforts. DUDE: WHEN I'LL BE GROWN UP I WANNA BE LIKE YOU!!!
Rapha should submit these short film works to the Sun Valley Film Festival. These are master works of art. I’ll bet it would win in it’s category. Wonderful pieces of epic cycling sojourns.
A lot of people were not sure when JV suggested this alternative calendar. Looks like he totally called it right, especially with the charm, skill and entertainment Lachlan brings. He's also a pretty decent bike rider :-)
I love how this series starts out and you get good exposure to Morton, Phinney, and Howes. Right off the bat, Morton was the only one worth watching IMO. He just had the right attitude about this alternative calendar and it was an absolute joy to follow. Cheers Lachlan!!!
Loved the alternative calendar races this year, really entertaining, well produced videos. Hope EF/Rapha contiune with this next year and get some more riders involved, bet Lachy can smash the 3 Peaks next year!
Phenomenal effort from every rider lauchlan i just sat in my taxi from start to finish with a smile on my face & thought how yourself & the great Lael Wilcox would be outstanding doing this race 😂😂🏴🏴🚴🏻♂️🚴🏻♂️🏴🏴🏴🚴🏻♂️🚴🏻♂️🚴🏻♂️🚴🏻♂️🏴🏴
Oh wow, another great bike race? video- no just a great bicycle celebration video. I dig this stuff and Lachlan is a fun dude to follow. Cheers, Steve aka The Talking Fly.
Lachlan!! --- Can you get Gus to join you on one of these rides PLEASE !?? Luv reading all these comments on what EF, Rapha and Lachlan are doing here. Absolutely awe inspiring
I've done quite a few breaks in Yorkshire and the people are great 🙏 that countryside is brilliant also, went to that viaduct in the middle of a crazy rainstorm and it's total full out up there.. serious terrain!
EF just needs to keep sending Lachy all around the world to do every weird race possible. He loves it and the fans love it.
I don't even ride and I'm a fan of it/him
Maybe his wife is not so happy, but I love it...and I'm selfish!😉

Yeah. 100%. Keep this going. Love this series. Go Lachy.
EF are onto a great thing here. I seriously hope that they continue the alternative calendar into next year!
Spoiler: not for the first half of 2020...
@@jarnozondag694 spoiler on the spoiler, alternate is about the only racing there was 😂
Lachlan, your a fookin legend son. I can't think of a better ambassador for cycling... #lovecycling

These programs are way , way better than watching world tour races.
0:39 Did the guy just throw his bike over the other guy in the water? 👍 I bet you’re a star in your local CX club when you start throwing your bike over people in a carry section. 🤣
Ronny Gordon pretty sure that was a failed attempt at throwing the bike all the way across the water
Jonathan Poon Agree. Not sure if I’d appreciate someone throwing a bike over my head though, not matter what the intention. Oh, nevermind, I wear a helmet.
I thought for certain that it was something else that splashed in the water, until I went back and watched it again. Like seriously, WTF? Who throws a bike over someone’s head?
Saw that too and wondered what the guy in the ditch said! 🤣
I think you'll find that that went exactly as planned!
Which bike doesn’t matter. Lachlan a ride any where rider what a champion. Thank you EF for allowing this to happen to get much closer to the cycling community
"... and if you don't, there will be a little bit of bother." Classic understatement. Love it!
This series is leading the way for how cycling teams should engage. Lachy is a hero, keep em coming!
No click baits. Trials and tribulations what make this channel awesome.
Morton is a superb embassador for cycling in general and I love what EF are doing in trying to connect grass roots cycling, with us mere mortals, to the elite echelons of the sport.
Lachlan Morton, with Alex Howes and team EF are doing a great job here and I hope some of the other pro peloton teams take up the idea.
Norman Saunders 100% agree!
Lachlan is an absolute legend. Keep up these odes to cycling

A totally awesome film that inspires me to get out on my bike I will never get tired of listening to Lachlan talking about cycling
Never sick of hearing Lachlan talk. Keep going! Your adventures are awesome and wonderful to watch!
So inspiring! What a season - Tour of California, GBDuro, DirtyKanza, Leadville, Tour of Utah, Three Peaks! What's next?! Way to go Lachy!
Hopefully these will continue on next year, love the alternative calendar!

Not sick of hearing you talk about cycling yet Lachlan! I love your passion for the bike and for the cycling community.
Hiw can anyone not love Lachlan. He's such a gnarly, goofy dude!
Another killer vid, EF. This series is phenomenal.
That’s a great film and Lachlan’s joy at riding is totally infectious 👌❤️🚵♂️
Well done EF on creating this alternative calendar. Been fantastic watching Lachlan and his personality shine with this program. Well done
Lachlan Morton doing the alternative calendar and endurance events is awesome, Rapha Films fell headfirst into something, keep it up!
Love, love, love the alternative calendar. More please! Lachlan, you are amazing. Rapha, welcome back. EF Education, thank you for your sponsorship and returning me to the beauty of the sport.
EF, Rapha, Cannondale, Lachlan you are all legendary to make this possible! This series embodies what cycling is about.
I feel Lachlan's attitude and persona could convert the world to cycling. Another great vid
Another truly awesome film, thank you! Two things - Nick Craig - total and utter legend, and no one is sick of hearing you talk Lachlan, more please!
i just watch these videos you've done with the biggest smile on my face. it doesn't matter that i can't do these epic rides. when i do the lame-a$$, flat centuries that i do, i think i still have the same elation and joy. and certainly it encourages me to do more. when lachlan talks about giving back, he's not making it up. he really is. thanks to him and all those responsible for these vids.
So good to see someone so passionate about a sport that is so diverse, and not afraid to be out of their comfort zone. We'll done Lachlan and EF You are truly an inspiration to cyclists everywhere.
Soooo great watching you do all of these "non-mainstream" events Lachlan and Rapha don't stop making these amazing films!
Epic!! The whole series has been - and have been looking forward to this one.
And I agree when Lachlan talks about not having road teams, etc just teams that ride anything & everything!!
Well done EF for supporting the alternative calendar. Great to see the riders racing these events
Ill never get tired of hearing Lachy talk. Amazing videos!
I am definitely not sick of hearing Lachlan talk about this, hope it continues.
That was a really great episode. Lachlan's chilled-out enthusiasm is infectious! I'm off out for a ride on my hardtail mtb now. Up UCSC trails and down to the ocean!
I really like Lachlan Morton. It’s great he does such variety of events and puts himself out there. Beautifully shot film too. Chapeau.
Lachlan, EF & Rapha have done amazing with the alternative calendar & Gone Racing series. Truly inspiring. The 3P is on my doorstep & its a brutal race. Respect to Lachy for his 4th place on a first attempt. Let’s hope other riders follow in his tracks & more pro teams adopt this approach. 👍🏻
Really hope you carry this on next year EF and that other teams get involved.
Such a great ambassador for the sport - these videos have been so incredibly therapeutic this past year, thanks!
This guy is epic!!!! EF cycling please keep this alternate thing going damn. This will inspire people to ride bikes way more than any tour does. These are accessible bike events that everyone can do. EF please keep this going I love it!!! and love Lachlan Morton!! That is cyclocross LOL wow.
This season/series has been so good man. Thanks so much to EF and Rapha for taking us along and long may this type of content continue ❤️❤️
Another great video with the unique Rapha signature. Lachlan M is a super talented rider who wins race on and off road. Yet he comes across as a humble champion who speaks a good talk with a big smile on his face. That's refreshing!

These mini documentaries are a breath of fresh air and I really hope you continue with this in 2020.
Top man! Such a proper cyclist, deffo earned dual Yorkshire citizenship 😀
Colin Thompson Since when was Yorkshire a nation? (Wind up 😂)
Thank you very much for doing this, EF and teach. I really really hope the team continues and does more of these events in the future.
Rapha should submit these short film works to the Sun Valley Film Festival. These are master works of art. I’ll bet it would win in it’s category. Wonderful pieces of epic cycling sojourns.
Definitely not sick of hearing Morton talk about this - he is awesome and these videos make me want to go ride my bike.
A lot of people were not sure when JV suggested this alternative calendar. Looks like he totally called it right, especially with the charm, skill and entertainment Lachlan brings. He's also a pretty decent bike rider :-)
His enthusiasm on the bike is a joy. What a guy.
I love how this series starts out and you get good exposure to Morton, Phinney, and Howes. Right off the bat, Morton was the only one worth watching IMO. He just had the right attitude about this alternative calendar and it was an absolute joy to follow. Cheers Lachlan!!!
I got a feeling other pros might just get the bug...AvV doing cyclocross is a good example.
Really cool that EF have entered a broader type of event this year. Loving these enough I'll be buying more Rapha
These are just fantastic films. So inspiring and Lachlan (and everyone else in this episode) is an absolute machine.
Awesome. So glad EF and Rapha are making these short films. I have really enjoyed all of them.
The best video to date, chapeau EF, Rapha and Lachlan for the alternative 2019 race calendar, truly inspiring.
Adding this event to my bucketlist
I love these videos and could listen to Lachlan talk all day! Thank you
When I saw Lachlan's name in the results in Cycling Weekly I hoped that EF/Rapha had made a film of it :)
Loving this, and all the alternative calendar videos. Thanks Lachlan!
Well done EF team , amazing pro team you guys are.
Smiling during bike throw. Classic!
Now that Taylor is retired, there is no doubt that Lachlan is my by far my favorite pro rider. Cheers mate.
We're not sick of hearing you talk buddy. Love these videos!
Loved the alternative calendar races this year, really entertaining, well produced videos. Hope EF/Rapha contiune with this next year and get some more riders involved, bet Lachy can smash the 3 Peaks next year!
Please continue this series!!!! They are awesome!!!
It looks like 5 degrees Celsius and that brown van with "ice cream" sign came right on time)))))))
Absolutely legend. Just makes you want to go ride your bike again. What an inspiration 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
We’re not tired of hearing you talk Lachy! Great stuff. Keep it coming?!
Phenomenal effort from every rider lauchlan i just sat in my taxi from start to finish with a smile on my face & thought how yourself & the great Lael Wilcox would be outstanding doing this race 😂😂🏴🏴🚴🏻♂️🚴🏻♂️🏴🏴🏴🚴🏻♂️🚴🏻♂️🚴🏻♂️🚴🏻♂️🏴🏴

Wrong - definitely not sick of hearing you talk. You’re a legend!
A-maze-ing
Chapeau to to the whole film production team.
Lachlan needs to be retained as an "INFLUENCER"/Community rep, no matter what. Love this shit.
Lachlan is proving to be a great off road racer and if he keeps on ne day he will be up there with Nick. Great video.
these videos are so great ... thanks EF and Rapha!
Epic, I'll say it again, the EF/Rapha alternative race program videos are awesome...please, please, please continue in 2020 :)
