IS LEADVILLE THE HARDEST BIKE RACE EVER!? | Lachlan Morton | RaceTV OFF-ROAD | EF Education-EasyPost

Over the weekend, RaceTV went OFF-ROAD at the Leadville Trail 100 MTB race in Colorado with Lachlan Morton. Leadville is high altitude, no-nonsense racing. Go hard, and try to hold on. This year, Lachlan came in ready after weeks of training in Leadville and a bike set up that had been dialed over weeks, even months, of testing. But Leadville had other plans.

There's an air of genuine humility coupled with Aussie grit with Lachlan.

[mikehylton]

Lachlan Morton needs to be cast in a Wes Anderson movie! 😂

[DerHackbart]

Can't help but love the way these short documentaries are filmed. And Lachlan starring it makes them perfect.
Huge respect to him and his massive efforts. And in all the interviews he seems to be such a down to earth and humble person. Top athlete!

I did the Leadville 100 in double the amount of time you guys finish. Your ability is simply impossible to comprehend. To lesser mortals like me, you do have the flying superpower. Hats off to you, Lachy. You're an inspiration no matter how you place. I'm gutted I couldn't attend your Rapha ride here in NYC, but hopefully, there'll be another one in the future.

Lachlan listening to Fred Again.. is just so perfect

[jani]

This dude is a monster!! Every since the alternate calendar started back in 2019 or so, Lachlan and Alex's down to earth humor and interviews are so much more refreshing to her than the typical " for sure" answers.

[lukaszkulakowski]

Lachlan, your eating procedure for Nori Chips is absolutely mesmerizing! You are a true inspiration and a legend in the art of enjoying this delicious snack... and cycling as well

[Yoyomamafat]

Lachy, no matter what, you will always be an inspiration to me. Can’t express how much you motivate me and have gotten me off my ass to keep training when all I want to do is be a couch potato.

[briangrissom]

Just wanted to say…massive fan of these. And it’s because of these “alternate calendar” events that I got into watching the world tour stuff. Loved watching Neilson this year at the tour. Keep it up EF! I’m a big fan.

[andreasdesch]

What a hero....rides in nearly every Leadville 100 races into the top 3, blasts an (unofficial) FKT on the Colorado Trail, is a humble, down to earth and funny as hell person and loves to listen to Fred again...while riding.

[woolfel]

Lachlan is one shining gem in pro cycling. that bike looks sick and nuts. my back would probably break riding that thing.

[gttim]

"What's your weakness?"

"Flats"

Good on you for catching back up!

[azmaier]

Lachlany is the most inspiring and probably influences more rides in a positive way than anybody.

[barrowsworm]

Hey Lachlan, so sorry your Leadville this year was derailed by some bad luck! I hope that you persevere and that next year you are right back there, and have good luck on the day. You're probably out crushing the Breck Epic right now, have a great time there.

[timo-tei]

nice coverage, great way to participate in mundane lachy's adventure ;-) thanks racetv!

[jeremysweeten]

Great vid. GREAT person. Lot of influence from Keegan on that setup.

[VeeVeeArcher]

Tyvm for all the RaceTV content.
😮☮️😎🐕🎉
Im relieved he is getting sleep these days. He'd paid his dues, and then some, on the ultradistance, no-sleep rides.

[jong]

Was up in Leadville climbing almost a month before Leadville and saw Lachlan coming in from a training ride. How long was Lachlan up in Leadville with his family training before the race? That is pure love of the outdoors, sport and a dedication to winning.

[genewest]

Always a good time when Lachy is interviewed, and he eats nori like a pro!

[robertsmurfison]

Yes Alex in the video the boys together
