The Importance of Nutrition According to Carlos Verona And Rik Van Slycke

For example, when we are in the races… Something important is to keep yourself hydrated. But you also have to eat enough, otherwise you’re empty when you arrive at the final moment of the race. So my nutritional strategy is to eat something, a bar or a piece of fruit, every 20 or 30 minutes. Depending on the speed of the race. Let’s say there is every 200 meter a rider at the car. Because if it’s 35 degrees and you get a bottle at the car and you go back to the peloton, When you arrive and give the bottle to a teammate, it’s already 5 or 10 degrees warmer. In a day we’re on the road, we’re training, we’re eating bars and gels… At the end you know what you want and what you don’t want. So I think that if we can help a brand like Etixx to develop new products That it’s good for them but also good for us. Then we will take it and eat it.
