We did loads about hydration in the squad this year, and the best thing is good ol' water, and is even better (as Dave said) with a bit of sugar and salts in it. We all drink lucozade sport before the races, and in any time we have free, you have to keep taking little sips of it at every possible moment. Only downside to lucozade sport is that it makes you piss. Alot. It's awesome stuff though If im really tired during a ride, I bust out the mountain dew! Its brilliant, has loads of different things in it like proteins and stuff. And its more of a gradual down after it really wakes you up, but afterwards i feel fine, unlike with redbull when i often ferel even worse after its given the disired affect Matt
