Lachlan Morton Sets Out on Final U.S. Epic Before EF Education-EasyPost Departure

October 3, 2026 - 17:52

EF Education-EasyPost have revealed Lachlan Morton's last endeavour for the team will start on 5th October. The Australian rider, known for his unconventional approach to cycling, will embark on a demanding route across the United States before officially closing his chapter with the squad.

The project marks the end of a long and fruitful relationship between Morton and the American team. Over the years, he became famous for pushing the boundaries of what a professional cyclist can do, blending ultra endurance racing with bikepacking and record attempts that often sat far outside the traditional race calendar.

His upcoming ride is expected to cover a massive distance, taking him through remote landscapes and challenging terrain. Details released so far suggest long days in the saddle, minimal support, and the kind of self-reliant adventure that has become his signature style.

Morton joined the team in 2018 and quickly built a reputation as one of the most original figures in the sport. Among his standout achievements was riding the entire Tour de France route solo in 2021 to raise money for charity, a feat that drew attention well beyond cycling circles.

Team officials described the final ride as a fitting send-off for a rider who always chose the road less travelled. Fans can follow his progress once the journey begins in early October.
