The 2022 spring Classics season saw Dylan van Baarle finally step on the podium of a Monument as he took the title at the Paris-Roubaix. Having competed in eight previous editions of the race, the win was arguably the biggest of the INEOS Grenadiers\u2019 rider\u2019s nine-year career.<\/p>\n

It was also the ideal preparation for this year\u2019s Tour de France as the race returns to the cobblestones after a three-year absence. A gruelling 19.4km of pav\u00e9 awaits riders as organisers hope to trigger time gaps among contenders.<\/p>\n

We spoke with Dylan recently to get some insight into how he fuelled during the cobbled Classics and discover how he plans to approach the most famous Grand Tour.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

HOW VAN BAARLE FUELLED DURING THE COBBLED CLASSICS<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Eating on a bike is not only physically difficult, consuming the same carb source for hours on end becomes monotonous. But when regular, high intake of carbs is vital for maintaining power output and performance, fuelling can be as challenging as any part of a race. For riders, then, variety with energy supplements becomes key.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe nutrition in cobbled classics is quite crucial. We have a lot of variation from gels to chew bars to energy drinks with a lot of carbs in. We call them the eighties or the 80 drinks as one bottle has 80 grams of carbohydrates. The classics are so nervous, so hectic, so it’s good to know that you have a lot of fuel in one bottle. And with the new Beta Fuel gels, you have 40 grams of carbs in one gel and you know you’re getting fuelled for a while if you take them. That makes a massive difference when you chase a breakaway and you don’t have a lot of time to eat.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

FUELLING FOR REHAB<\/strong><\/h4>\n

If it wasn\u2019t also for his steely determination to fight his way back from injury \u2013 the Dutchman fractured his pelvis after crashing at the Vuelta last season \u2013 his victory at the biggest Classic of them all may not have happened. As with any rehabilitation process, nutrition plays in integral role. Alongside a formidable rehab program designed by the Grenadiers\u2019 medical team, van Baarle optimised his diet.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you have an injury and you\u2019re riding less, you need to limit your carb intake and make sure your weight is in balance. But it\u2019s super hard to do that because you\u2019re in a bad place of course because you\u2019re disappointed you have the injury. So, it\u2019s a mental game to keep your eyes on the goal. I also took extra calcium tablets from SiS that helped me to recover from the fracture.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

ONE KILO OF RICE PER DAY!<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Fuelling for Grand Tours is often as punishing as the stages themselves. From sun-up to sundown and always a day ahead, riders have to eat a staggering amount of food as well as supplement on and off the bike. As you might imagine, variation adds an extra challenge to an already difficult task.<\/p>\n

For Dylan van Baarle, he\u2019s gone from one extreme to the other \u2013 from limiting carb intake during rehab to eating a kilogram of rice each day!<\/p>\n

\u201cI would say I almost eat a kilo of rice a day in a Grand Tour, so that\u2019s quite a lot! I mix it up sometimes and have rice pudding. Or I mix up [normal rice] with Alpro yogurt to get a bit of flavour. It almost looks like rice pudding then!\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

HOW VAN BAARLE WILL FUEL FOR THE TOUR DE FRANCE<\/strong><\/h4>\n
BREAKFAST<\/h5>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s hard to say exactly, but for breakfast I eat a lot of rice. Maybe 300-350grams of rice as well as some toast or bread and an omelette.\u201d<\/p>\n

ON THE BUS<\/h5>\n

\u201cBefore the race I always try to eat a bar or something just to make sure you get the fuel in before the start.\u201d<\/p>\n

DURING THE RACE<\/h5>\n

\u201cIt depends on the stage of course. If it\u2019s a hard mountain stage you have to fuel really well. If it\u2019s a flatter day you can back off the fuelling a bit. But towards the final I eat more gels and chew bars because it\u2019s easier to take.\u201d<\/p>\n

RECOVERY<\/h5>\n

\u201cFor recovery it\u2019s basically the same \u2013 a lot of rice, and a protein shake of course.\u201d<\/p>\n
