The 35-year-old shared victory with French rider Clement Hellier after the pair completed the demanding course in 34 hours, capping another outstanding display from one of Britain’s leading ultra-endurance athletes.
Les Géants is regarded as one of Europe’s toughest cycling events.
The route stretched for 435 miles through the French Alps and featured elevation gains equivalent to climbing Y Wyddfa 17 times, testing competitors’ physical and mental limits across some of the continent’s most challenging mountain terrain.
Morris’ latest achievement follows another career highlight earlier this summer when he finished third overall in the Race Across France.
That event covered 2,500km and took place during a severe European heatwave, adding another level of difficulty for riders tackling the extreme challenge. Morris completed the race in 142 hours, 42 minutes and 56 seconds to secure a place on the podium.
The result represented the highest-ever performance by a British rider in the history of the Race Across France.
The back-to-back results underline the consistency Morris has shown throughout a season that has seen him compete against some of the world’s strongest endurance cyclists.
His success is particularly notable given the setbacks he has faced in recent years.
In 2025, Morris was forced to abandon the Race Across France after suffering a serious knee injury around the 1,500km mark.
The disappointment brought an abrupt end to his race, but his performances in 2026 have demonstrated an impressive recovery and return to the highest level of competition.
The Forden rider has also improved on previous achievements in Les Géants.
He finished seventh in the 2024 Les Géants 1000K event, making this year’s shared victory another significant step forward in his ultra-cycling career.
With a podium finish in the Race Across France followed by a share of first place in Les Géants, Morris has enjoyed a summer that ranks among the finest of his endurance racing career to date.
