Lachlan completed the first stage of the GBDURO in 34 hours with about 29 hours riding. It was frigging 640km from Lands End to Mid Wales and included hike a bike. A bunch of noted endurance racers didn't even show up to the start such was the severity of the route and the first stage took out 10 of the 24 starters. His ride was the most incredible thing I've ever seen in cycling, it makes a TDF stage look easy.
cool story bro
Anything with Lochlan Morton is worth watching :)
Hitting the nail on the head. Building the bridge between pro's and the normal people riding bikes. The alternative calendar has been awesome to watch. More pro teams need to take note. Well done EF racing and all the sponsors.
Rapha has done well to change my mind about them. Previously, I viewed Rapha as a brand for posh cyclists who don’t ride when it’s wet or cold. These videos this year have done well to tell the stories of these down to earth EF riders. Well done
they're sponsored and have to ride in all conditions regardless of sponsor
@@mikes1984 I’m talking about Rapha Cycling Club that had a reputation of being fair weather riders. But a lot has changed in the last few years
@@jonpoon3896 true, good point, touche
Taylor Phinney seems like such a cool, well centred dude who knows what the priorities in life are. Wish him all the best in his retirement.
William Cunningham Totally agree... NBC should loop him in as an analyst when they cover cycling races and events...
Thank you for coming to Japan. 日本に来てくれてありがとう。
Japanese fans seem awesome!
Easily the best cycling vids on here. Consistently class. Hats off and roll on 2020.
2020 no good
unklesannjay if only he knew
Really good one. The frustration, the emotion, the direct commentary on the race and the sport made it meaningful and enjoyable to watch. Felt like I really had a stake in the team.
Guess I do have an emotional stake in the team, lol.
Thank you for the Gone Racing videos, what an amazing season EF had. The men in Pink dominated this year, please continue the videos next year.
I love rooting for a group of people I'd want to have a beer with. Cheers and on to 2020.
I have always cared about cycling but I haven't loved cycling for a long time. EF Gone Racing changed that for me this year. Thank you for all of the work and effort you put into these short films.
The music in these videos have been the soundtrack of cycling this year
Jonathan Poon builders tea have done all the music
this was such a special year. *thank you.*
I gotta say, the insights of EF and more specifically Taylor cut right to the heart of the "issues" of the stability and challenges to growing cycling as a sport. I love this series of videos.
Well done EF, Rapha, and JV being the guiding light in connecting racers and riders.
This series of videos has been absolutely fantastic to watch. From gravel to road, all of them, incredible. The shooting of the videos and quality of sound/video is also welcomed, nothing is bad quality at any point. But seeing the emotional aspect of the sport portrayed in these videos does open my eyes up as a cyclist.
Not to take away anyone elses thunder, but Lachlan is super inspiring. Love watching him ride bikes.
This old cyclist has loved what this team has done this year, chapeaux all riders & management with a special shout out to Lachlan.
Put some Flat pedals, throw away your powemeter and enjoy the ride!! that´s is one of the reasons that motives me to keep pedaling. As always a excellent content, see you guys next year. Remember that the fundamental key to riding your bike, it´s that you have to have fun.
Love these videos! EF should stand for Every Friday!
Chapeau to JV, the team, sponsors and everyone involved in this project, what a year and some truly fantastic stories told through the EF Gone Racing series here on TH-cam. Thank you!
It's been a great year that we've all been lucky enough to be part of. Really hope it carries on next season 🙌🏻
I do gravel, Road and mtb. And there hasn’t been a Pro Tour team that did that, until now that is.
Love the Rapha series films, and have watched Them all several times. Hoping that you Will keep up the Great Racing, filming and editing, in all catagories.
As a side note - I now ride with Poc helmets, and Rapha clothing 🙄🙄
The 2019 season was a splendid year for EF Education First and Rapha not only on road and alternative race but also to a cycling community as a whole. Hopefully for 2020 season you guys can come back with this kinda content.
This probably my favourite video of EF
Mollema: one more lap :-)
Brutal
Dick move
Not very gentlemanly at all.
Amen to that !!! WELL DONE is right .. EF is now my favorite team after getting to know the Riders better .. hands down..
Wishing Taylor all the best in his retirement .. Hope to see him perhaps in the alternative races with some of his old friends !!
Thanks so much Jonathan for keeping this all together .. Take care & stay safe all of you
Thanks EF. Thanks Rapha. Well done JV. Bon chance TP.
Thank you to everyone who made these videos and trips possible. Your Gone Racing series and Mitchelton-Scott's videos connect me with the ProTour a lot more than I was as a school kid watch Lance ride the TdF and that's it. I'm a daily bike commuter now and there's so much danger and frustration riding among drivers and buses and car-focused roads. But, these videos remind that bikes are fun, and that's why I love them. I can't wait for another year. I hope you all find new and interesting adventures. Happy Holidays!
Well done well said a huge thank you EF FOR BEING INVOLVED IN LOCAL COMMUNITY EVENTS it has meant a great deal to every day cyclist from road to cx to mountain bikes . At the end of the day we the people that keep the industry going new bikes new kits new components and we all love it .and to Lachlan Mortan thanks the any where bike rider your adventures have been exciting . Many thanks EF and have a well earned off season break Then Tour Down Under see u there . Max
As much as I love Lochlan Morton, I don't think you could take the 'best rider in the world this year' title away from Matthew Van Der Poel!
exactly what I was thinking!
It's hyperbole, for sure. But still awfully impressive how he's there or thereabouts in everything from gravel to mtb to road to endurance. Plus, he's just great to listen to.
Same.
your videos , just lead the field. totally inspirational , honest and genuine. best to all . whether it was a commercial marketing thing or just a philanthropic love of bike riding - doesn't matter , outcome is the same , its great, keep going
What a fantastic season it's been. More of this next year plz.
Excellent video. Excellent culture. I’m falling in love with EF!! Can’t wait to see what next year brings. Great stuff #closingthegap
There is a lot about Vaughters that I don’t like, but this video (hearing the team’s heart & understanding) really makes me appreciate this EF TEAM!! Keep racing for the beauty & power of riding! Yes, results matter, but so does attitude. Keep doing the ALTERNATIVE racing & bring fame/$/and fun to that game!! Great video.
I never cared at all about road racing and the comments at end about disconnection between racers and riders rang true from my point of view.
Thanks to what Rapha, EF & the team have done I actually know the names of a few riders, find them interesting, am interested in how they do and absolutely love the alternative calendar.
It’s what racing needs as it’s way too serious about itself, and EF Rapha is just what we need more of. Never thought I’d be commenting on a bike racing team as it just didn’t interest me. Well done.
Well done Rapha! Well done EF!...your objective of connecting with the riding community is definitely coming across in these awesome videos
Love what this team is all about, reminds me why I ride
Wow! kicking around some cool ideas in a bike race video - dig it. love it!- Cheers, The Talking Fly
Lachlan did a great job this year but it's hard to put anyone as the best all around bike rider in the world over Mathieu van der Poel. But good video!
Mickey Shulkin want to see him bikepacking
@@DenisChenchik my thoughts exactly. MVDP can be fast, but can he be fast for 36 hours in the middle of nowhere?
There’s is more to cycle than pro races 🤷♂️
I like your style....lachlan go...woodsie cheer for you.. in hindsight i wish i was lochlan....riding all those incredible places....what a year
i love japan. i would love to know more about their bike culture if possible so i can go over there and ride during my winter break.
Great series. Very refreshing look at professional cycling and restores my faith in professional cycling. Looking forward to seeing more!
Another cracking film to finish off a great year, chapeau EF
Loved this series this year! Much respect to the entire team and thank you for sharing! Love the format and hope to see more next year!
Lachlan. The Frank Zappa of cycling.
Thanks @Rapha & @EFEducationFirst for these videos. An entertaining look at what the riders are experiencing. LOVE the effort to connect. Congrats on a great season, looking forward to 2020!
Best of luck to Taylor in his new life! Thanks for all that racing and cool vibe TF!! And thanks to EF for such a great 2019 series of videos on racing bikes but also on the alternative calendar. It makes for compelling viewing. Yes, I think initiatives like this will certainly create bonds between the cycling community as a whole. BIKES are the FUTURE ;-)
Please EF please please please continue mixing world tour with other events to celebrate cycling.
Love this stuff, reminds me of skateboard video's from HUF
EF are really making bike racing cool
Great videos this year, Lachlan, Mike, Taylor are the reason I have bought Rapha gear this year
Vaughters should be in more of these videos. Great job Rapha, EF, Team.
Cracking year really enjoyed following - roll on 2020!
Reminds me of that Anime film about Cycling, “ Nasu “ there’s two of them! Ones about a team like this that came to Japan to compete.
Absolutely fabulous and beautiful film. Kudos to you guys for putting out such spectacular content throughout the year. You guys are truly trying to bridge the gap within the riding community. Have a great off season. Looking forward to seeing you guys again in 2020. Thanks again!
I rode a few laps of the road race circuit in July. Beautiful course. The climb is short but STEEP. These guys make it look so easy 😂
17:41 best speech
These are really well produced videos and can be a joy to watch. Congratulations to Team EF and Co for a successful year and also for taking an alternative path to the other World Tour teams.
Brilliant as always. Those black team hats available for sale?
Top quality work, great video with Rapha unique signature. Pro cyclists have to know how many laps to go to the finish line. Or the DS keeps the tally. The smartest rider won the race. Lachlan Morton is my favorite pro cyclist because he's got the right spirit and attitude - freedom on 2 wheels.
Love these videos and love the team but that was some pro tier deception by Mollema for the race win lol.
Really appreciate the approach which you, as a team, have taken; back to really 'enjoying' (all types of) cycling, instead of purely counting World Tour podiums. Thanks for the great content and I wish you a (relatively) relaxing off-season. Looking forward to seeing you guys do even better in 2020 :-))
Best pro team, period.
Thankyou EF! Thankyou Taylor!
I guess all subdiciplines of biiking go through the same struggle. Its good though that nowadays thanks to the internet you can keep your sponsors happy even if you are not winning races by having a good presence in social media, so keep it up EF, content creation like these vlogs are important for fans
Super series EF.. amazing job
Great strategy seeking new ways to connect to the cycling community. I am keeping up through the videos. I am definitely a fan. Oh, and you guys are the only cycling team I follow on TH-cam.
Thanks for the amazing insights all year. Congrats to everyone on a great year. Best of luck to Taylor - we will all be cheering you on. And JV is right, build that bridge! Looking forward to the 2020 videos!
Awesome year. Really enjoyed watching the adventure.
Well done EF. Taylor - all the best in the future. Great video, keep them coming.
Bravo EF. Bravo Rapha.
Absolute class 👏🏻phenomenal insight into my love for cycling love from Scotland 👏🏻🏴🚴🏻♂️🚴🏻♂️🚴🏻♂️🏴🏴
Wow, those 19:45 min went fast. Love these videos. I'm steadily becoming a bigger fan of this team. Keep it up. Love Lachlan Morton and Taylor Phinney. To bad he is hanging up his wheels. Hope he can still stay in the sport and give us his views.
Please keep up with the great content. Super motivating and fun to watch!
Mathieu van der poel vs lachlan morton: battle of best rider in all types of cycling
Jonathan vaughters: Lachlan Morton!
Guys, stop this content please. It's way too good.
Lachlan Morton best over all bike rider in the world this year....MVDP must be laughing
Of course he is, but MVDP didn't ride the length of Britain in what... 5 days?
You'll note he said rider, not racer. MVDP best racer of course
Laughing at the people so stuck in the pro racing bubble that they only see him and not everyone else in the world doing amazing things on bikes without the fanfare?
Incredible where Argyle/Slipstream were a couple of years ago and where they are now. A really cool team that gets decent results and has fun doing it. All the best to Taylor and Go Rusty! Maybe Taiwan KOM next year?!?
Thank you for amazing video!!!!
Well done, indeed! Thank you!
Great video, loved watching these all year, keep them coming next year. Thanks to the riders and the team! Well done!
Brilliant content,. congrats to EF and JV
EF is the Hoka NAZ Elite of cycling and its going to pay off big
team of the year, jippi
These videos are so enjoyable. Take care Finney.
Am hoping Taylor and Lachy keep doing alternative races and Rapha continues covering it for us
Good luck Taylor!
Really high quality video and story making.
Well done. Totally.
I bloody love these videos!
Youre retirin' right when you rock a fab's bag to your last race
Very nice video!! I really enjoyed it!!! Nice background music!!!
I’m a 60 year old cyclist in So Cal Taylor you will be missed!,,,,
👑
Gonna miss Taylor.
Lol, Mollema = King!
mortons dreads got insane this season

Race starts @9:50
