- Three energy systems (alactacidic, anaerobic, aerobic) provide ATP; utilisation depends on the duration and intensity of exercise.
- Glycogen stores are limited, so provide 60-90 g of carbohydrates per hour in a ratio of 1:2 fructose:glucose early on.
- Electrolytes such as sodium, potassium and magnesium ensure nerve and muscle function and thermoregulation, especially during long or intensive exercise.

- The quadriceps and gluteus perform the main pedalling work in the push phase, while other leg muscles support the transition and pull phase with variable activity.
- Cadence and neurological control determine performance on the mountain; downhill, muscular stabilisation dominates instead of active strength.
- Endurance performance depends less on muscle mass than on VO2max, cardiovascular performance, capillary density, fat metabolism and energy supply.

- MyWhoosh is the first cycling platform to introduce an anti-doping programme in e-racing, triggered by growing prize money races such as SRC and MWC.
- Checks via remote notification: Riders must remain at the location for up to three hours, IDTM takes urine, blood or dried blood samples.
- WADA prohibition list is the basis; refusal or manipulation leads to disqualification, disallowance of prize money and suspension.

- Nino Schurter ended his World Cup career after an unrivalled cross-country career with 36 World Cup victories and an Olympic medal set.  
- He remains active as a rider in the Scott Sram Team, competes in selected gravel and MTB events and acts as an ambassador at media camps and dealer weeks.  
- Competition and results are no longer his top priority, but he remains competitive and supports his team at selected World Cups.

FITNESS

- For long MTB tours, a continuous supply of carbohydrates, fluids and electrolytes is crucial to avoid a drop in performance.
- We recommend 30-60 g of carbohydrates per hour, divided between snacks and drinks, plus regular small portions every 20-30 minutes.
- You should drink 0.5-0.75 litres per hour, more if it is hot, ideally as isotonic drinks to replace fluids and electrolytes.

Refuelling properly: food & drink on long MTB tours

- Non-alcoholic beer serves cyclists as an isotonic or carbohydrate-rich recovery drink and helps to replenish glycogen stores.  
- 0.0 beers without residual alcohol are recommended for performance-orientated athletes, as even small amounts of alcohol impair rehydration and protein synthesis.  
- Improved brewing techniques, special yeasts and dealcoholisation enable a variety of alcohol-free beers whose taste has been evaluated in blind tests.

- After mountain bike tours, the combination of carbohydrates, proteins, healthy fats and micronutrients accelerates regeneration.  
- Three dishes under 30 minutes: Power pasta with salmon, sweet potato bowl with chicken, quick vegetable omelette with feta.  
- The recipes provide energy, support muscle building and cell protection and are quick and easy to prepare after the tour if you shop ahead.

NUTRITION

- Early goal setting, a gentle start to training with basic endurance and a gradual increase are crucial for late starters.
- In addition to cycling, regular strength training, stretching, coordination and balance are essential for performance and injury prevention.
- A predominantly light, nutritious diet and targeted cycling technique training increase performance, safety and riding enjoyment.

- The author describes a risky descent to work by bike down a steep, temporary construction site staircase.  
- When swerving to avoid a pedestrian, the handlebars get caught in the site fence, the rider falls over several steps and crashes into the fence.  
- This is followed by basic riding technique tips for riding stairs: Weight to the rear, horizontal cranks, controlled braking, look towards the exit.

- From May to September 2026, 13 ADFC rallies with tens of thousands of cyclists will take place in German city centres.
- The aim of the demonstrations is to ensure safe, continuous cycle paths, safe crossings and more space for climate-friendly mobility.
- Highlights include the 50th Berlin rally on 7 June and the end of the season in Bremen on 6 September.

- Shaved legs are traditionally considered mandatory in racing cycling, with justifications ranging from massages and wound healing to aerodynamic advantages.  
- A Specialized study puts the aerodynamic advantage of hairless legs at around 70 seconds over 40 kilometres.  
- Despite criticising this convention, the author bows to the "shaving dictate" for the photo shoot, injures himself in the process and calls for more tolerance in cycling.

- FTP is the practically determinable threshold power, serves as the basis for precise training zones and is usually determined using a 20-minute test.  
- The standard protocol comprises a structured warm-up, 5-minute maximum test, 20-minute time trial, after which the average performance is reduced by approx. 5 %.  
- Alternatives such as critical power or mFTP exist, but the regular FTP test remains central due to training benefits, comparability and mental training.
