Did anyone watch, just started watching it now on my Sky plus.

Its pretty interesting, so far its clear that sports drinks don't really produce a benfit unless your endurance training. Pretty much when I do training ride say about 40-45 miles I generally munch a cake or jelly babies then coke or hot chocolate depending on the outdoor temp, then refill my water bottle. I guess sugar water would be useful, I think we worked out that on ride like that we probally burn about 3000-3500k, so you have eat becasue glycogen stores are about 2000k this all a rough estimate clearly as depends on how fit your are ect!

I have dumped fruit juice as my breafast drink in favour of water, way too much sugar in it, not good if you want to lose weight.
