These EF videos make the Tour so much more enjoyable! Thanks to everybody envolved, the riders, management and especially those behind the scenes!

Amazing that Chef Blandy produces food for a small army of carb monsters from that small kitchen on wheels for 21 days. He should go in the yellow jersey when Richard does too.

As a logistics junkie, I'm loving the kitchen truck behind the scenes content. I'm curious. Does Owen have an assistant or sou chef or even a dish washer to assist him, or is it a one man show?

So cool! Chef Owen said that the stage determines what he prepares, whether it's a TT, flat spring, mountain stage, etc. Does that mean the following stage (what the athletes will be doing the next day, after dinner), or the stage that just happened (what they did that day, prior to eating dinner)? Also, so curious what the athletes eat for breakfast and when!

You said that you adapt what you cook to the type of each stage (sprint, climbing, flat stages). How it affects your menu then?

Questions for chef Owen: 1) Is there a hack you have to make the "fuel-only rice" nicer for the riders or is it the other meals and sides to spice things up? 2) I know you have to stick to the nutritionist's data but do you manage to sneak in a treat here and there for the guys? To give a boost of simple joy.. I imagine coming back to a freshly cooked and hot meal is a bliss after a TdF day in itself, but still I wonder how much (creative) freedom do you have. Or like if possible going the extra mile for one of the team knowing he loves a certain thing or dish. 3) what is your personal favourite full menu (salad, soup, main, desert..) put together off all of the dishes of the meal plan for the TdF list! 4) what is the most useful hack/pro tip you use cooking on tour? Thanks to you and the whole team!

Chef Owen, do new riders to the team need to conform to the dietary guidelines of EFE or if they are vegetarian or vegan (I assume Keto wouldn’t work in this carb heavy sport) do you tailor a diet to their preferences? I LOVE Behind-the-Scenes content. Thanks. That was fascinating to watch.

Chef Owen - Do you ever serve Quinoa? I hardly ever see it mentioned in cycling nutrition despite it being a superfood

@CyclingChefDiane 20 күн бұрын

Just going to jump in, during the tour, it's unlikely. Quinoa is a filling, slow-digesting carb. These guys need to eat a lot of carbs, you cant stomach that quantity with quinoa. Also, it's not really a "comfort" food. The house (truck?) made bread must be such a comfort to the riders. love it.

@EFProCycling 15 күн бұрын

We asked this for an upcoming video, but it's likely to get cut due to length, so we'll reply here. He does serve it sometimes, but it's not a favorite of this lineup of riders, and the high fiber content makes it harder to fit into their nutrition plan. So, he may include it for a rest day, but not for a normal race day.

Avoid foods that cause gastrointestinal distress during riding. I read Rafas book about tennis and the night before a tournament he ate only plain pasta with nothing. I imagine pro cyclists do suffer from that.
