'I'll still be riding, just not in the pink anymore' – Lachlan Morton reveals he’s leaving EF Education-EasyPost
Ahead of another big announcement, the Australian maverick explains why he chose a niche English event as his final race for the team he has been a part of for seven years
Australian cyclist Lachlan Morton, known for his unique approach to competitive cycling, has announced his departure from EF Education-EasyPost, the team he has been associated with since 2019. The 3-Peaks Cyclo-cross race in Yorkshire marked the end of his tenure with the team, as Morton told Cycling Weekly that it was a fitting conclusion to his time with EF Education-EasyPost.
He is currently preparing for an endurance ride in the U.S., which will be his final major event before an unspecified next chapter. Morton has a penchant for endurance challenges and extreme record-setting rides, often using these events to raise funds for charitable causes. He has been particularly drawn to the UK cycling scene, winning the GBduro in 2019 and participating in the 3-Peaks multiple times.
Despite his success, Morton maintains an easy-going Australian demeanor and enjoys the competitive nature of British racing, where he must prove his worth at local events. He has hinted at a return to the 3-Peaks race to defend his title and plans to explore new terrains in Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, and Ecuador in the future.
