…in the Tour de France? It looks like the poor buggers sit in the bicycle saddle all day after breakfast, and then they don’t eat until dinner?
I’d fall over on the third day .. even supposing I could ride at least 100km on a flat road in one day … with a meal programme like that…

there is a feed station during each stage, where the riders will grab a Musette which has there snacks and food. They also can grab energy bars and energy gels from the team car and they do carry stuff in their jersey pockets. But there are restrictions on when and where you can grab your food or drinks.

I mean, “super” as in vitamins and minerals and fuel food…just replacing all the stuff the cyclists use in this rather extreme calorie-burning effort…they’d have to get their roughage with breakfast and dinner… not to mention their correct number of serves of dairy, etc etc…

indeed. They are full of carbos and have a fair bit of fat too. Disposable contents if you are cycling 200kms, not that good if you are not moving.

At this elite level, would they be personalised? Or just the best brands you can afford?
I see where Andy Schlek has taken a punt and got good odds…good on him…
Schleck…untwists tongue

it is interesting. Lance said that his team chef used to make a chicken salad wrap that was moisture free and wrapped up so their jersey or gloves would not get soggy and sticky. He said they were more yummy then carbo benefitting and they were consumed purely for a good tasty snack. He said it was used just to break up the bland crappy taste of the commercial powergels and powerbars.

“Team chefs”, yet!! Yes I can see Lance’s point of view, yummy food when you’re whiling away the miles, would keep the morale in good nick…
I’m not a fan of “breakfast bars” and such, I find them very boring…so the rest of it is commercial products…

I did read that the team chefs do make up there own fruit medley mix and museli bars. I daresay they have carbo and protein powders mixed in.

tina did a fantastic version of the anthem tho’.
it actually sounded good.
even tho’ the frenchies haven’t won le tour for a while, Paris is probably the only city where, no matter who wins, there is someone living there who can give an artistic version of the national anthem.
