Overview
In this episode, Soudal Quick-Step performance nutritionist Ben Price takes us into the data-driven world of high-performance fueling. What does it take to fuel Tour de France stage winners?
Ben explains how rider-specific energy forecasts, based on power output, past race data, and predicted course demands, enable the team to build tailored fueling strategies for each stage. From training to race day, every gram of carbohydrate is planned to align with performance goals, recovery needs, and rider preferences. Tim shares his own evolution in this process: from riding on gut feeling to embracing a structured nutrition plan that supports peak output and recovery.
Together, they show how trust between rider and nutritionist is backed by real-time data, analytics dashboards, and predictive modeling and how good preparation results in great results..
