Team LottoNL-Jumbo extends partnership with Daily Fresh Food for three years
Daily Fresh Food will be the official food partner of Team LottoNL-Jumbo for another three years. The parties signed the contract during the Amstel Gold Race on Sunday.
Daily Fresh Food will keep on supporting the team with balanced food, which gives the riders the chance to deliver the best they can during the upcoming seasons.
Healthy and tasty food
The partnership between the Dutch WorldTour team and Daily Fresh Food goes beyond just delivering healthy and tasty food. “We create a balanced menu cycle, which is based on the needs of the cyclists,” Frans Hochstenbag, general manager of Daily Fresh Food said. “We’re not looking only at the nutritional values that the riders need to recover from today’s efforts, but at the needs for the day after, as well. When looking at the long term with the composition of the menu. We’re trying to improve the optimal performances.”
Performance food
“Daily Fresh Food really adds something to the performances of our team,” Richard Plugge, general manager of Team LottoNL-Jumbo added. “When you look at the Tour de France, for example, in which healthy food and recovery are crucial. With the delicious and nutritious meals, our cyclists are able to ride on their maximum every day.”
Together with medics, nutritionists and exercise physiologists of Team LottoNL-Jumbo, Daily Fresh Food created a food programme for the cycling team during its training sessions and races.
Hochstenbag explained, “With natural ingredients, we developed our food with a large amount of proteins. Riding a stage in the Tour with four climbs is not the same as a classic on the flat”
