Lachlan Morton's Tour Divide film is success on its premiere: "It’s funny to see and relive what were very intense personal moments"

Lachlan Morton's Tour Divide film is a hit at London premiere. Back in early September, Morton completed the Great Divide mountain bike route in record-breaking time, and his brother Angus Morton was there with a committed film crew to capture it all in a new 65-minute film called 'The Divide'.

"I would say the most challenging moments on this ride were down to being hypothermic," chuckles a nonchalant Lachlan Morton in front of a sold-out crowd in west London. The Australian is in fine spirits as he answers the questions put forward by the audience following EF Education-EasyPost's first film screening in the team's long history.

"There were a few moments within it that were tough," Angus says honestly about his experience. "Because it is a strange thing: you see a storm, you’re watching this person make a very bad decision and you know it - but you just have to watch them ride into it. You wonder, at what point do I switch from just observing this thing to stepping in?"

"It’s funny to see and relive what were very intense personal moments," admits Morton. "There were a number of moments where if I had an out - like I had a car or something - I would have just got in, because I was genuinely afraid for my safety. But there was no real way out, the last resort was going naked in a sleeping bag and try to lie and wait for help!"
