Will Frischkorn, Tour de France stage 2 I’ve been amazed at how busy we are here in France. With one of the biggest differences from just “any other bike race” being the constant media attention. So first and foremost, there always some time devoted to the press. Many quality hours have been spent with the space legs on, effectively immobilizing you for 30 minutes+, and that time gets spent either with a book, back on the computer, or watching French TV.

I’ve also been working on a Catalan-cuisine inspired CLIF Bar flavor, probably under the Mojo line. It starts with a solidified grapefruit puree core, is wrapped in a tube of foie gras, then coated in a paper thin chocolate shell and rolled in bitter cocoa and smoked sea salt. I’m not sure about the packaging, or the name quite yet, but I think there’s a future for it, albeit small.

Otherwise, we are living by the age-old cycling adage of “why stand when you can sit, why sit when you can lay down.” Recovery has been the big focus for sure.
