In this six-part series, De Dataloog joins forces with the Wolfpack Howls, the official podcast of the AG Insurance Soudal and Soudal Quick-Step Pro Cycling Team to explore how data and technology are transforming the world of professional cycling. Together with data analyst Paul van Herpt (Transfer Solutions) and hosts Phil Lowe and Walter van der Scheer, you’ll get a unique behind-the-scenes look at one of the most forward-thinking cycling teams in the world.

Each episode, featuring a unique blend of insights from riders, coaches, experts, and team leadership, dives into a different aspect of elite sports and data. Learn everything about the use of data to optimize training and race results, nutrition, and scouting. Welcome to a world where numbers make the difference but human performance wins the race.

In this episode, Soudal Quick-Step performance nutritionist Ben Price takes us into the data-driven world of high-performance fueling. What does it take to fuel Tour de France stage winners?

Ben explains how rider-specific energy forecasts, based on power output, past race data, and predicted course demands, enable the team to build tailored fueling strategies for each stage. From training to race day, every gram of carbohydrate is planned to align with performance goals, recovery needs, and rider preferences. Tim shares his own evolution in this process: from riding on gut feeling to embracing a structured nutrition plan that supports peak output and recovery.

Together, they show how trust between rider and nutritionist is backed by real-time data, analytics dashboards, and predictive modeling and how good preparation results in great results..
