Lachlan Morton uses the motorcycle to make a difference. This time, he will join his EF Education-EasyPost teammate Mark Padun on Saturday to distribute Cannondale motorcycles to thirteen young Ukrainian cyclists who have been displaced to Poland and are now refugees due to the Russian invasion.
Padun, now 26 and a six-year veteran as a WorldTour professional, knows first-hand that his overall has been turned upside down. He fled his home in Donetsk, Ukraine, to a Russian invasion at the age of 17. He spent time at a cycling academy near Kyiv, then moved to Italy to compete in an under-23 team near Bergamo. In 2017, he turned professional with Bahrain Merida.
“I dreamed of being a professional cyclist,” he said. I would be in education camps in Ukraine and I would only know that I was looking to be a professional cyclist, that I raced for that. “
