  • "No skinsuits. No aero bars. No team bus. We don't want to take WorldTour cycling and impose it on this race. We're pretty much best friends, who happen to be WorldTour riders, entering this race like anyone else would." - Lachlan Morton
    This is #alternativeracing.
    There are no borders on our racing program this season - from Kansas to the KOM Challenge in Taiwan, the team is breaking the traditional road racing mold.
    We started in Emporia, Kansas with the Garmin Dirty Kanza. One day. Two hundred miles of racing, most of it on gravel. More than two thousand people.
    Join us on the journey.

I was completely fine. Some parts were washboardy. But I think wider tires could help. I’m not sold in a gravel bike yet. I think I’ll ride my road till I reach a path I can’t ride

    I raced the event in 2019 and there was a lot of talk about EF being there. Most of the comments were very negative. Especially surrounding the fact they bailed before the awards ceremony to hit their next event. I think there would be more support and acceptance from the "community" if they took a little extra time to mix it up with the regular racers there after the event.
    For example, at La Ruta in Costa Rica there were lots of pros racing too, but they were at the same group dinners and hanging out at the same after race party. I remember chatting with Tinker Juarez on the bus back to the airport and it still makes me smile to this day.
    Pros at amateur events? Kick our asses sure, but how about taking the time to break bread or have a beer with us too.
