GRAN FONDO ALBERTO CONTADOR
So during this year's Gran Fondo, you will also get to know our products, which will be at every feeding station. Below we will explain the ideal nutrition plan you can use during the Gran Fondo to provide you with the energy you need. You can also order our products, which will be present at the Gran Fondo, so you can test them beforehand on training, so there will be no surprises on the big day itself!

To get through the first 2 hours, we recommend 60grams of High Carb on 500ml of water, supplemented with an Isotonic Gel or a Plant Based Energy Bar. If you prefer a gel, you can take 2x an Isotonic Gel, if you prefer something to chew on, you can take 2x a Plant Based Energy Bar.
Note that you will only arrive at the first feed station after 54km (about 2 hours), so you will have to bring your own food for the first 2 hours.
From the third hour, we switch to our Isotonic drink, the Carbo Electro. This will be available in the feed stations. This is also where it's best to take a High Carb Energy Bar and an Isotonic Gel. You can then eat these over the next hour.
An hour later (KM 84), you will arrive at the 2nd feed station. Here you can fill another water bottle with Carbo Electro and take an Isotonic Gel and a High Carb Energy Bar.
Then you're already over halfway and it's still 24km to the last feed station. There you should take your feed for the last 40km.
Remember that the last stretch is still tricky, with the Port de la Vall D'Ebo. To tackle this climb, we recommend taking a Caffeine Gel. Also take an Isotonic Gel and a full bottle of Carbo Electro. The final climb is followed by a long descent, keep eating and drinking well here as the final stretch is with open plains and lots of wind. This should provide you with all the nutrients you need to succesfully finish the Gran Fondo Albert Contador!
