The recipes for professional cyclists are designed to meet the very strict nutritional criteria to boost the champions’ performance for each leg of the race. The Cazères-Loudenvielle leg involves cycling 140 km in one stretch. Exerting a muscular effort, degrades our muscles. In this dish, the meat proteins help to rebuild the cyclists’ muscle mass and the dried beans provide good potassium content which helps synthesize the proteins in the body.
