    Wow… none of them said a breakfast burrito with jalapeños… what theeeee hell… clearly I’ve been doing this wrong… 😆🍻
  • Arguably the best "what pros eat" video; direct from your pros friends. What a treat! Very informative. Cards on the table. Graçies once more!
  • @sam8m8
    Mate this is gold. As a runner transitioning into cycling, it's interesting to hear Mike's take on his experience in particular. Thanks for taking the time to put this together - best vid you've put out to date.

    You just get better and better Tristan and are by far the best on YouTube. I like to watch 10 min videos of anyone else but I am always delighted when you do longer videos because the content is awesome.
  • @pabloromar7413
    Thank you for the video ! I just learned so much watching it
  • This was absolutely fantastic 10/10, thanks for doing this. It’s so good when you learn something new and some confirmation of what you are doing is on the right track. Best thing I’ve watched in a while.
  • @antspage
    love this content mate... love the nutrition part of it makes a big difference when you get it right !
  • @stvaldr
    I just discovered and joined the channel today, and I have got to say your videos are well done and educational. This is my fourth or fifth video of the day (recouping from a small injury) and I have enjoyed and learned from everyone.
  • @ajfmaughan
    Great vid as always, intersting and useful content in this one. Your ability to get top end World Tour pros to be so open , relaxed and honest in your content is a great skill and makes your videos really engaging. Chapeau keep the vids coming!

    This was fascinating. So relaxed and informative, a day in the eating life of a cycling professional.
  • Such a good vid man. Been watching for awhile now and love the insights. Thanks for putting out great content and really showing the side of the pro's we don't get to see! Ben O'Connor and the rest seem like such cool blokes!
