Kanza - EF Gone (Alternative) Racing - Episode 001
Спорт
"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.

If these dudes were anymore chilled out they'd meet the legal definition for being in a coma.

EF have become my No. 1 bike team to follow. They have now have a credibility in real cycling that goes well beyond the World Tour results sheet.

Amen. Breath of fresh air. Much more than winning to a cycling team. Have fun, spread the word and be good humans!
Gravel racing is slowly becoming the American classics. Europe has cobbles, and we have gravel

Lachlan is a breath of fresh air, - messing with the weird invisible structure of cycling!
Breath of fresh air, viewing pros outside the peloton. Real credit to the sport. EF hands down the most exciting world tour team.
Hey EF Education First! Stay as the title sponsor for many years to come! Absolutely inspirational!
Best comment I heard from Alex Howes the other day….”this is my favourite bike and I have just put a power meter on it……..kinda ruined it”. What I love about these guys is it’s all about the riding.
So many positives in the video for cycling in general. Well done you did your team and sponsors proud and showed a new cycling community that your not only Pro cyclists but friends who are passionate about being bike riders who enjoy living the moment.
Hey rapha, this video totally sold a shirt lol. I love what your doing
how high is Taylor at the MTV moment, love it, dude!

This was absolutely fantastic, thanks to all involved!
So raw love it!
Thank you - this is so cool to see and so cool for cycling!
What an event, what a calendar, what a video! Thanks EF! 💪🏻
Great film - keep em coming!,
I've been waiting for this since Episode 1 of the series. Love what EF is doing here. If they put the cutting room floor tape out, I'd watch that too.
Wow this was really cool! Loved the content and seeing the riders be just normal people 😅
Man, I love these guys! ❤
Respect. Phinney looks like Nigel Thornberry lol
Awesome vid, defiantly adding this race to the bucket list
Very well done!
Only an American can say " Almost there, only 163 miles to go" It shows you how big America is!

I Love this Video!
I was in a local mtn bike race last night, my zone five for a third and zone 4 for the other 2/3. Last lap this dude sent it and I said the same, dude if you can go now, you win! He won. Cooked
Seen this too many times. So, so good.
I've followed road racing my whole life and this race (and now the EF report!) is perhaps in the top 5 events of the year I look forward to the most! It is worthy to note this race mimics in a sense how the Tour began.
This is awesome 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
This video is amazing. To me having the riders describe what the race was like is the best part about it. It would be amazing to get that same type of feedback from regular races as well. Lachlan is a very gifted story teller.
Very cool video and race, more inspiring than the grand tours.
That was one of the best in this whole series.
yes yes yes yes well done boys the effort was fully there you can see the hurt in this film but its raw af
Wonderful
This one of the best videos I’ve ever seen.
It's a shame Floyd's of Leadville couldn't sponsor them. They sound like Floyd's three best customers.

JV out there manning the feed zone. Nice.
Props to Colin Strickland. "If you can go at that speed, then you win. Go for it." And he did just that.
This is SUCH a great video. Chapeau guys.

Great to have these guys participate in these races. It’s great for cycling and the community.
have seen a few vids on the DK these ones are by far the best, low key, funny, exciting and lachy and alex are the perfect riding partners - more pls EF and Rapha
Hey taylor, as a member of gravel community we accept you with love
Taylor with a huge collection of Basquiats!!!
Phinney got four more flats than me and he still finished hours before me! What a machine!
Welcome to the community.
Pretty cool to see JV grinding in that second feed zone
"We don't want to take WorldTour cycling and impose it on this race" while doing F1 pitstops :D hahaa! Loving it
Is it me or Taylor seems to be like an upgraded version of a hipster? So cool!

I was so stoked when I heard you guys were doing DK. You picked the perfect trio for the race. You made an excellent video to show us their hearts and the heart of this race. Much respect EF.
The guy with curly hair must cut the weed :D

Not even finished and this episode is so awesome. From the start I loved that music! Set the tone perfectly! Lachlan's "mate I cracked ages ago?" Hilarious. This episode is the epitome of what I hoped for when you all announced the alternative races and partnership with Rapha. So very well done. Took me way too long to get around to watching this one though haha.
Can somebody please explain to me the controversy of these guys racing? Colin is sponsored by Redbull and rocked Aero Bars and I didn't hear a peep, but "pros" took 2-4 and its armageddon. How can you hate on these guys, this was great.
I was surprised there were zero EF guys representing at unbound this year. Out of alkl the teams that let their pro riders go, EF didnt.
“Gripping the stick to tight” LMAO Taylor had 7 flats and they are in the car railing on him. Classic
"OK. This is how it's gonna be." Sorta sums it up.
I love this video! This team! Amazing. I’m curious the bikes they rode. I saw they were cannondale. But, which one? I rode in a local race and used my road bike with my every day tires. 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
man 7 flat is just brutal. most people would have given up after the 3rd and call it a day
19:24 when alex just sprays the team guy in the face with water 😂😂😂😂😂
Taylor is a world champ and a gold medalist, yet he’s just a guy 😎
love this shit
22:31 This ❤
What bikes does these guys were using? SuperX?
Lachy is a great story teller but Taylor got the full DK experience.
"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 Dang, well that trend certainly didn't persist for this year.
i think,they give 1pound of weed before the gravel race,chillllzZzzzz
what are the title tracks in this video?
is the lineup for the tdf official
Are they having a monotone slow-talking contest?
anyone know the model of the bikes their riding? thanks
Why even ref the Tour at the start? Every cycling region in the world has these kind of ultimate events, usually unique to the region for climate, landscape/ roads etc. Appreciate it for what and where it is, not for what it isn't.
I am doing dirty kansas this year Yo.
Why did one guy on the team get soo many flats?
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.
