I've been riding and racing for 17 years now, and have tried all sorts of foods and supplements over the years to give me fuel and energy on race days. Some have helped, some have been detrimental!
What do you guys eat on a typical race day?
Any good energy bars, drinks, snacks that have really helped you to keep energised and focused all day on the bike?

The Shop
Couple white claws, couple rips from the vape and some soy jerky😂😂
Cookies, Chips, Water
And peanut M&Ms !
For sustainable energy, I will have a packet of GU before I ride, energy drinks and bars are full of fillers and sugar and are trash.
I usually start the day with a real breakfast, eggs, bacon, toast, avocado. Protein smoothie on the way to the track with banana, peanut butter, chocolate protein, milk. Ryno Power hydration fuel while riding. Whey Protein right after, maybe a good bar on the way home. Normal dinner.
Actually, I'm looking for some better nutrition tips as well. Keep 'em coming.
Pit Row
4-6 eggs over easy, lightly peppered
One potato grated, packed together and squeeze out the water, run both sides decently with salt/pepper/garlic
5-7 sausage links.
Washed down with REAL veggie juice.
Rarely eat during the day, just hydrate. Then something carb, fat and vitamin heavy for dinner.
👍👍👍
He would run staging at my race events and when it was hot he would chug cold buttermilk all day.
He talked me into taking a cup one day in July and I puked it up in no time.
15 years later and i still get nauseous just thinking about that nasty crap.
On the way to the track I consume 24oz of water with 2 servings of BCAA’s.
Between motos I have 2 hours so I’ll consume a 200 calorie protein bar and a banana along with hydrating.
Your body can only process X amount of calories per hour so consuming any more than around 100 calories per hour before will leave you with excess food in your stomach that hasn’t been converted to energy yet. My stomach during a race doesn’t like that.
That’s my race day ritual! Along with maintaining a healthy diet and steady workout routine year round. No soda, limited alcohol. And no alcohol before a race day.
If I eat heavy before and after, not during, and heavily hydrate then I feel like a million bucks and recover faster.
I’m a tall, skinny fuck with psychotic metabolism so I’m definitely different than most others 😂 I used to just do a massive breakfast sandwich but I’ve been cutting down on sugar so not as much bread in my diet anymore.
If it’s a hot day, I’ll still snack on grapes and apples throughout the day 👍
