Why this episode still matters

Nutrition changes quickly, but the principle stays stable: fuel the work, practise the gut, and judge ideas by whether they improve repeatable performance.

Key takeaways.

  • Nutrition strategy has to be practised before it is trusted on event day.
  • The trend is not the point; the rider response is the point.
  • Better fuelling often shows up as better late-session execution, not just better numbers on paper.
