| Team Garmin-Chipotle H30 has 23 hungry, hard-working pro cyclists who are fueled by the power of Clif Bar. On average, each rider consumes 3 Clif bars, 6 Clif Shot Bloks & Gels, and 1.5 cans of Clif Shot Electrolyte & Recover drink each and every day. During the Tour de France, our riders will easily consume twice that on an average day, and much more in the mountains. | |

Clif Bar: The riders have loads of choices here - Clif, Mojo, Nectar, Builder's, ZBar, even Luna bars - and average about six bars a day during the Tour de France. Unless you are David Millar, who likes to race so he has an excuse to eat more Clif bars! |
| Clif Shot Bloks & Gels: These are great to fuel the fire during a long stage and the riders usually consume about three packs of Bloks and four Gels per day. Though if you are Will Frischkorn off on a 233 km break during Milan-Sanremo, you will go through 5 packs of Bloks and at least 6 Gels. | |
| Clif Shot Electrolyte & Recovery drink: These are key for hydration & recovery and the riders usually go through 1.5 cans of Electrolyte and Recovery drink a day. Double that number for a long, hot stage through the Pyrénées. | |
