How to fuel a professional cycling team at a Grand Tour. This short film - a collaboration between Maurten and World Tour Team Uno-X Mobility - goes deep into the knowledge, planning, logistics, science, and care that's required to keep the pedals turning in the biggest stage races - Giro d'Italia, Tour de France, and Vuelta a España.
In a Grand Tour, food is more than fuel. It's comfort, satisfaction, celebration, and support. James Moran, Head Nutritionist at Uno-X Mobility, takes us beyond the day in, day out calorie-counting and deep into how psychology and physiology also dictate what's served to riders over 21 days of riding.
“Food is more than just kind of macronutrients and energy - there's a lot of psychology around the foods that the riders enjoy and the atmosphere at mealtime. We try and get that balance right, so it's not too clinical, you know. So that they perceive that they're having a nice breakfast, that they feel safe and they enjoy that, but we actually also know how many grams of carbohydrates and calories they've hit.” - James Moran, Head Nutritionist, Uno-X Mobility.
