In an average stage or single day race, a bike racer will burn roughly 6,000 calories during the race. If you add in the 1,500-2,000 calories of a normal day for the average person, these racers need to eat a great deal of food, and we are not talking fries, burgers and ice cream cones. Besides carefully considered breakfasts and dinners, the riders will go through a feed zone on every road stage. In the feed zone the riders will grab a musette (a canvas bag full of special energy drinks, bars and some tasty treat to make them happy. The zone can be a very dangerous area with racers concentrating on finding their team worker, grabbing the bag and then rifling through its contents.
