How WorldTour pros fuel, and what we can learn from them

In today’s episode of the BikeRadar podcast, digital writer Jack Evans is joined by Dr Tim Podlogar, an expert on carbohydrates for cycling.

Tim has a PhD in Exercise Metabolism from the University of Birmingham, where he is a research fellow. He is also a nutritionist for Bora-Hansgrohe WorldTour cycling team, where he developed Jai Hindley’s Giro d’Italia-winning feeding strategy. Tim is himself one of the fastest amateur cyclists on his local roads around Birmingham.

Jack and Tim discuss how he helps his professional riders manage their weight while optimising performance in tough training sessions and races. Tim is not fixated with marginal gains and instead says ensuring a rider consumes adequate carbohydrates is a maximal gain. He explains what we can learn from the extremely high-carb strategy he devised for Hindley at last year’s Giro. Tim sings the praises of simple carbohydrates, such as Haribo, while warning against overeating protein. Lastly, Jack asks how to avoid the dreaded bonk – something Tim confesses even he occasionally falls victim to.
