Here’s how you can eat like a Grand Tour rider

Grand Tours and multi-day stage races are among the most physically demanding sporting events in the world. Riders push their bodies to the absolute limit, racing day after day across vast distances, burning thousands of calories in the process. To keep performing at their peak, these athletes follow a meticulously planned diet before, during and after each stage.

But their strategies aren’t just for professionals—many of their nutrition habits can be adapted for anyone looking to optimize performance, whether you’re a weekend warrior, an amateur racer or simply health-conscious.
