WHO IS HANNAH GRANT?
Hannah Grant fed a WorldTour team across five seasons of Grand Tours and turned the experience into the most credible cycling-nutrition cookbook ever published. Trained at Noma, chef for Tinkoff-Saxo from 2011, Daytime Emmy winner for Eat Race Win — she is the rare voice who has cooked at fine-dining level AND fed riders racing 200km a day for three weeks. For Roadman's audience she is the practical answer to the question most amateurs avoid: what do you actually put on the plate, every day, to fuel real training without ending up fat or under-recovered?
GRANT ON IN-RIDE FUELLING
Grant’s key positions on in-ride fuelling.
- Quality cooking and performance fuelling are not in conflict — the same flavour discipline that wins Michelin stars makes athletes eat more of the right food.
- Pro-team meals are mostly real food — pasta, rice, vegetables, fish — not gel-and-bar engineering. Amateurs who copy the supplements miss the actual diet.
- Hydration is fuelling — the saltiest pro-team meal of the day is breakfast, deliberately, to set up the day's electrolyte balance.
IN GRANT’S OWN WORDS
Verbatim from Hannah Grant’s appearances on the podcast.
“Depending on the rider depending on their stomach depending on their race like physiology how big they are and you know muscle mass and so on I mean they take in between 60 to 120 grams of carbs you know per hour. It's so much food on the bike.”
