Getting enough fuel while you're riding or racing isn't that easy. Firstly, carrying enough food can be difficult, next, consuming it at the right time isn't always easy, and, finally training your gut to take the fuel on board needs a bit of, well, training.
Based on our racing careers and training, energy gels answer a lot of these questions; they're compact, give a quick hit of carbs and, isotonic gels are easy on your gut too.
Here's our guide to making energy gels work for you – don't forget to
