Lachlan Morton completes 5,510km Alt Tour, beating peloton to Paris by five days
Isn't maintaining a solo pace much harder than maintaining pace inside a peloton (and isn't this a huge driver of the various strategies in long distance cycle racing)? Is this guy riding by different rules (eg. allowed to ride more hours per day or something) or is he just that much faster than the Tour de France cyclists? And if the latter, why isn't he out winning Tour de France?
