Lachlan Morton rode the whole route of the Tour de France without the kind of help official racers get, like mechanics and meals. He started behind official Tour racers and finished five days ahead.
Pro cyclist Lachlan Morton wasn t officially in this year s Tour de France, but he rode the route anyway, by himself and beat everyone to the finish in Paris
by five days.
After starting shortly behind the official group on June 26, he crossed the unofficial finish line at 5:30 a.m. Tuesday: 3,424 miles in 18 days, including ascents up some of France s famously brutal mountains.
Morton rode around 200 miles each day, usually spending about 12 hours in the saddle before finding a place to camp for the night (or simply riding through the night).
