@thetraka 200 // DNF // Europe's main Gravel event didn't go as planned. An “unpluggable” flat tire after one hour of racing took me from “riding the line” back to “walking the line”. Not much to say, just one of those days, hoping for better luck soon. Thanks @lukemudgway and @gaiamudgway for making this stay in Girona taste sweet despite everything

When mum is waiting for you on the course, always take a few minutes to tell her you had to retire 😅

@simon_pellaud lining up for Traka 200.
Simon does things his own way. Always has.
After a rough start to the season with his knee, he’s building momentum again. Step by step, finding the rhythm and getting back to where he wants to be.
For an intensive race like this, the approach stays true to him. POWER CARB Sour Cherry 1:0.8 in the bottles. A mix of CHEW 40, GEL 40 and the INTENSITY BAR Apricot to keep the energy coming in different forms.
Hydration matters, especially in the heat. ELECTROLYTE SHOT to stay on top of fluid balance. BICARB protocol and CAFFEINE GEL 40 used with intention, for the moments that count.
No overcomplication. Just a setup he knows, trusts and can adapt during the race.
We’ve been working together before. There’s a shared understanding of how performance and health should go hand in hand.
Now it’s about seeing where this can go.
Go Simon.
Traka 200 is about to go off. Simon Pellaud is locked in, ready to throw hands in the dust of Girona.
Sprint helmet on for max aero. Intensity Reactiv RX lenses dialed in for perfect vision at all times.
Full gas. Just one plan: close the loop and raise the hands up at the line.
Bring it on 🔥
