Road cycling nutrition

In this live webinar, Gabriel Martins (Visma | Lease a Bike) and Asker Jeukendrup (Red Bull BORA-hansgrohe) share expert insights into the latest science and practical applications of nutrition and hydration strategies in elite road cycling.

Road cycling can be an extremely challenging event to prepare for from a fuelling and hydration perspective. This webinar aims to bridge the gap between evidence-based nutrition strategies and the logistics of implementing such nutrition strategies at the highest level of performance. The speakers have previous and current experience working with elite-level riders during Grand Tours, such as the Tour de France.

In this 2-part webinar, Gabriel and Asker will discuss novel nutrition and hydration strategies, including insights from strategies implemented by Grand Tour teams. The talks will focus on emerging nutrition trends in professional cycling. Specifically, the speakers will explore the daily energy demands of road cycling, strategies for recovery with multi-day events, and advanced strategies for world-class performance.
