The last time someone achieved this was in 1998: winning the Giro d'Italia and Tour de France in the same season. Tadej Pogacar did it in 2024 — and did it so confidently that the discussion about his nutrition almost seems more important than that about his competitors.

Enervit has been the official nutrition partner of [UAE Team Emirates](https://www.enervit.com/en/uae-team-emirates) since 2020. In this first year together, Pogacar won the Tour de France. Then again in 2021. And now, in 2024, the double: first the Giro, then the Tour. Four Grand Tour victories in five years, all with the same gel in his jersey pocket.

The gel is called [**Carbo Gel C2:1PRO**](https://www.cyclingnews.com/features/mango-flavour-and-120g-per-hour-how-does-tadej-pogacar-fuel-in-a-tour-de-france-stage/), preferred flavor mango. The name reveals the formula: two parts glucose to one part fructose. This ratio allows the body to use two different transport routes in the intestine at the same time — so up to 90 grams of carbohydrates can be absorbed per hour without the stomach going on strike. On short mountain stages, Pogacar rides with around 60 grams per hour. On long stages with several passes, the intake increases to 120 grams. Then additional bars and rice balls come into play. In the bidon itself: Isocarb C2:1PRO, 60 grams of carbohydrates per bottle.

Gorka Prieto-Bellver, the team's nutritionist, takes care of the fine-tuning. He plans the fueling stage by stage: which products, what quantities, at what point in the stage. Enervit produces its own formulas at its plants near Lake Como and can supply the team with [customized formulas](https://www.enervit.com/en/team-uae-emirates-nutrition-in-a-grand-tour-race) on request.

For Enervit, the Giro-Tour double is the biggest result in the company's 70-year history. That is no exaggeration. One rider, two Grand Tours, one season. That doesn't happen often. And it doesn't happen without a working plan in the saddle.
