Lachlan Morton's journey to the Unbound Gravel 2025 showcases his growth from a WorldTour rider to a seasoned gravel racer. Since his fourth-place finish in 2019, Morton has embraced the challenges of the sport, culminating in a victory at the Unbound 200. As he prepares for the new Unbound XL race, he acknowledges the heightened stress and competition that accompany the event's rising prestige. Morton finds a balance between his desire for personal engagement and the pressures of elite racing, emphasizing different approaches to competition among riders.
“I guess, the increasing importance of this race amongst the elite category, sort of all over the world, definitely increases the stress around it. For a lot of the elite riders it can be a make-or-break kind of weekend.”
“A lot of people thrive in that sort of environment - for me, I find that challenging, in a way, and it's a tough one because the thing I do love about these events is the engagement we have with people.”
