The Man Who Beat the Tour de France in Sandals | Amanpour and Company

Imagine winning the Tour de France. Now imagine doing that without any of the perks -- no mechanics, no hotels, no crew at all. This is exactly what Australian pro-cyclist Lachlan Morton did this summer. He dubbed it the 'Alt Tour de France,' riding 200 miles a day and beating everyone to the punch by five days. Lachlan did it all for World Bicycle Relief, a nonprofit that finds bicycles for people in need.

Originally aired on August 6, 2021.
