It’s the carbs I can’t get I have seen it as low as gone by just after lift off to taking a hour
Not saying the birds won’t get home more flying at speed
So it’s hard to know when or what fats they use or need when seems a fair bit of difference in when the carbs are gone
Do you need 3g of fat at 10 min or 60 min
Then if unused it’s dead weight

I don't think that there's a hardcore definitive answer on this.

I think your right seems done say just getting in the air others say after a hour
So say you go a 120 min race and you want say 3g fats per hour as a guide in the build up do you really need 5.5 grams

Yes been told just reaching height and like you others say your get 50/60 miles out of them
How about race horses Anthony ate they like dogs

I wonder what the difference between sprint cyclist and grand tour cyclist as there body shape isn’t as contrasting as a 100m runner and a marathon runner that diet you can see more with heavy protein
