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.

4 years later - LACHY TAKES THE W! Couldn't have happened to a better athlete!
If these dudes were anymore chilled out they'd meet the legal definition for being in a coma.
their energy level was infectious. its 11am and i'm ready to go back to sleep
Theyâre in Colorado lol
Weed is legal in CO.
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
I really hope so
@@damonh82 unfortunately, seems it might be the UCI thatâs making that happen
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!
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!
Sasha Tromsa Colorado life, yeah?
Is TF ever not high?
hes a pro cyclist no way he takes drugs...
@@jt0308 haha phinney is something different though :)
Best comment I heard from Alex Howes the other dayâŠ.âthis is my favourite bike and I have just put a power meter on itâŠâŠ..kinda ruined itâ. What I love about these guys is itâs all about the riding.
I don't think there's ever been a better gravel film. Ever.
Help I can't stop watching again and again reminiscing pre covid times
And Lachlan did it this year. Fastest time ever .No me chingas
Respect.
Phinney looks like Nigel Thornberry lol
Love this team so much more now, nice to see a human side to the pro peloton!
Human side of the pro peloton?????? Seriously ???????
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
This was absolutely fantastic, thanks to all involved!
Thank you - this is so cool to see and so cool for cycling!
What an event, what a calendar, what a video! Thanks EF! đȘđ»
Great film - keep em coming!,
It's a shame Floyd's of Leadville couldn't sponsor them. They sound like Floyd's three best customers.
hahaha you are absolutely right!!!!!!!
So raw love it!
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.
Man, I love these guys! â€
Awesome vid, defiantly adding this race to the bucket list
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.
Only an American can say " Almost there, only 163 miles to go" It shows you how big America is!
only like 2.5 hours driving. I've done 10 hour day drives cross country
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.
Wow this was really cool! Loved the content and seeing the riders be just normal people đ
Very well done!
This is SUCH a great video. Chapeau guys.
Dopers in the mix!!!!
Very cool video and race, more inspiring than the grand tours.
Now we know why Alex races bicycles, ball sports like tether ball are hard. Great video thanks.
Props to Colin Strickland. "If you can go at that speed, then you win. Go for it." And he did just that.
That was one of the best in this whole series.
Seen this too many times. So, so good.
yes yes yes yes well done boys the effort was fully there you can see the hurt in this film but its raw af
love this
I Love this Video!
This is awesome đđŒđđŒđđŒ
This one of the best videos Iâve ever seen.
âIf you can go that speed...u winâ. Classic
Ooooh, a like from me already and I haven't watched yet. Will watch later when I get time, looking forward to it.
Good Stuff!
JV out there manning the feed zone. Nice.
fantastic video!
Great to have these guys participate in these races. Itâs great for cycling and the community.
Phinney got four more flats than me and he still finished hours before me! What a machine!
What a damn cool video.
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
Wonderful
Super inspiring stuff. Thanks, dudes!
Taylor with a huge collection of Basquiats!!!
Phinney and the phantom flats hissing along!
Awesome to see you guys out there!! See ya next year??
Hey taylor, as a member of gravel community we accept you with love
Welcome to the community.
EF seems to have a team filled to the brim of good people
The guy with curly hair must cut the weed :D
Is it me or Taylor seems to be like an upgraded version of a hipster? So cool!
He sound and act like " I need peoples attention, I'm a butterfly " !!!!!!!!! I really want to be a NEO hippy !!!!! WTF!!!!!
upgraded? no way, more like "too cool for my shit" hipster
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
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.
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.
"OK. This is how it's gonna be." Sorta sums it up.
I love this video! This team! Amazing. Iâm 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. Iâm not sold in a gravel bike yet. I think Iâll ride my road till I reach a path I canât ride
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.
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.
âGripping the stick to tightâ LMAO Taylor had 7 flats and they are in the car railing on him. Classic
19:24 when alex just sprays the team guy in the face with water đđđđđ
â€
man 7 flat is just brutal. most people would have given up after the 3rd and call it a day
22:31 This â€
love this shit
Taylor is a world champ and a gold medalist, yet heâs just a guy đ
What bikes does these guys were using? SuperX?
Lachy is a great story teller but Taylor got the full DK experience.
what are the title tracks in this video?
Are they having a monotone slow-talking contest?
is the lineup for the tdf official
anyone know the model of the bikes their riding? thanks
Song @ 9:29
Lochland
i think,they give 1pound of weed before the gravel race,chillllzZzzzz
Why did one guy on the team get soo many flats?
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.
TJ Eisenhart @ 16:17?
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.

Dang, well that trend certainly didn't persist for this year.
EF are the other side of the Ineos coin...
Looks like a rad day out for the 3 vegan hipsters haha. Sweet edit. 2000 people! That is epic!
Are they high
æ„æŹèȘććčăæ±ă

cannondale? just a guess
yes - Cannondale SuperX www.efprocycling.com/dialed-in-for-the-garmin-dirty-kanza/
