Cycling’s Carb Revolution Reshapes How Riders Fuel

Cycling’s nutrition playbook is being rapidly rewritten as riders embrace a new era of high-carbohydrate fueling on and off the bike. In a recent roundup, Velo’s Jim Cotton pulls together the latest research and on-the-road practice, separating solid science from short-lived fads for everyday riders, not just WorldTour pros. The package spans big questions—real food versus energy gels, the 500-calorie “carbohydrate revolution” that’s transformed the Tour de France, and whether creatine has a place in a climber’s arsenal. It also examines pro-level breakfast spreads and warns against taking the high-carb trend to 800-calorie extremes without expert guidance. Together, these stories form a one-stop hub for endurance athletes looking to fine-tune their fueling strategies, now also available in an audio playlist for listening on the go.
