Visma | Lease a Bike thinks it has a new gimmick in training and nutrition: "Optimal recovery at all times."
Cycling
Visma | Lease a Bike has proudly announced a partnership with TrainingPeaks. The well-known training platform will work hand in hand with the Dutch WorldTour team, with which Visma | Lease a Bike hopes to have found a new gimmick to improve riders besides the Foodcoach app.
The Foodcoach app has been the subject of much discussion in recent years. Riders are guided through the app down to the gram in what they should take regarding nutrition. TrainingPeaks will help the various Visma | Lease a Bike teams to "create, plan, track and analyze workouts fully tailored to the specific needs of our riders," according to a press release from the team.
The meticulous guidance of riders in their workouts is not new in 2024. "Although Team Visma | Lease a Bike was already using TrainingPeaks' tools, this collaboration takes it a step further," it is reported. Martijn Redegeld, Performance Nutritionist with the team, explains: "The nutrition plan in The Athlete's FoodCoach app is adjusted in no time to match a rider's needs. If a training or race, for example, turns out to be longer or more intense than expected, the remaining meals for that day will be increased. In this way, we ensure optimal recovery and targeted adaptation at all times, enabling our riders to deliver top performances day after day."

Program with Foodcoach and Training Peaks first tested for Visma | Lease a Bike
So the Foodcoach app and TrainingPeaks go hand in hand at Visma | Lease a Bike. Or as they put it through official channels, "The planned data is compared with the actual values ridden. This means riders' nutrition can seamlessly adapt to their unique training schedules and daily realities." Before the riders actively use it, TrainingPeaks coaches will intensively test and give feedback on the program to ensure everything is seamless.
"We are delighted to be working with Team Visma | Lease a Bike as an official partner in training software. And that we can add the team to our list of all the other teams that rely on TrainingPeaks to help further them perform at the highest level," said Dirk van Friel of TrainingPeaks. "Visma | Lease a Bike is a top-notch organization with some of the best riders in the world. We are honored that the trainers trust our platform to plan, track, and analyze training sessions."

- I wish we could have seen him try. He'd absolutely get dropped before Pogi overtakes his domestiquesVeganpotter10-12-2024
- Talk is cheap! Next year barring crashes with a healthy team... all well be on track! Some need to talk to make a headline!mootman27-11-2024
- I do not see this event listed on HBO Max Sports Online? Can anyone confirm? Thanks!
MrYuck23-11-2024 - It seemed that he was focusing forward at the time of the crash, after seeing a quick video snippet. But one thing I think he should focus on more intently is breaking a bad habit he has, right now. And that is his constant looking over his shoulders. He does that so much, that I am very sure it is not good for him. Simply watch videos of the greats of CX and you will see very little of that constant looking over their shoulders. That is a behavior that betrays a bit of insecurity on his part. He shouldn't be so concerned, incessantly, about what is over his shoulder. He needn't worry they didn't all disappear. He neds to keep his focus more ahead of himself, and he needs to pay a bit more attention to himself, in a confident manner. It is very frustrating to watch, because it is apparent that he has a lot of potential, and is in much better shape thwan many of his competitors, but the mental game needs to be sharpened more, because that part of strategy plays a huge part in the final results
reemmo022-11-2024 - hahahaha love this shit! I didnt even watched the race, but reading all the gossip articles of how stupid this is!Zatoichi19-11-2024
- Van Aert is really handsome. He can influence me all day! Ditto for Philipsen. Why do you think many of us love cycling?: to see heroic attempts at climbing mountains at high altitudes or to watch speedsters sprint for the finish line or to watch a human being ride at break neck speed down a tricky descent? No, it's all about their lean physiques and muscular legs. (apologies for objectifying these dedicated and amazing athletes).BarwonHeadsUp25-10-2024
- It is unfortunate that the author can't feel the joy that Pogacar brings to the sport and his fans who are legion and I for one feel lucky to have watched such a memorable performance and historic season From the Strada until yesterday with multiple wins in stages in both tours and beyond dominance in the World's. He is proud to wear the Rainbow stripes, shows his leadership to protect his fellows and is as courteous and sportsman-like as the sport allows. He goes early to not have to respond to each attack as all the rest would make him do it. Any racer who could would do the same. Don't "grow tired" of greatness as it is always fleeting.ccrider13-10-2024
- What load of rubbish. Pog is likely a once in a generation cyclist, the like of which hasn't been seen since 'the Cannibal '. How many people were complaining that Merckx was making racing predictable? I remember this year's World RR as one of the most exciting I've watched. Mainly BECAUSE Pog was the favourite and launched what everyone thought (Pog included) was a suicidal attack with 80km to go. For the next 2 hours, I was on the edge of my seat thinking "this is too much, even for Pog". Maybe Zonnefeld prefers the snooze-fest that is a bunch sprint? Like most people I know, I can't watch two hours of the bunch riding very fast... I wait for the final 5km and watch just the sprint. In any event, most races are won from a sprint or lone break. What difference does it make who makes the lone break? Ultimately, the other contenders will have to figure out a way to beat Pog. Even if that means collaboration between teams. It's going to be an exciting few seasons, until the next Pog arrives on the scene. If this is boring, heaven knows what exciting looks like!Michael513-10-2024
- This is not a gravel race. UCI fail, from the surface they are on to team tactics. In what country was the first "gravel race" in what country is the most popular gravel race? Go with the race model that created the discipline.
Barnes127411-10-2024 - And don't forget he has now won 4 of the big 10 races (Grand tours, Monuments and WC/OG) in one year with a chance to make that 5. (5 has only been done once before)Joostmehrtens05-10-2024
