Last weekend was the first hot race of the season and I guess the team went through at least 1 million (or more) bottles during the road race at Pace Bend. Given the chaotic conditions in the feed zone, you might wonder we managed to get all those bottles on board during the race: Thanks to our phenomenal feed zone crew, of cause.
As every single one of them can tell you, it is not an easy thing to feed a team during a race. For one, there is the battle for position in the feed zone; then you need to find your riders and make sure, none of the competition grabs a bottle. In between laps, you need to find and collect the tossed bottles, refill them and, of cause, wrangle your way back to a good spot to do it all over again the next lap.
So I’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who helped out this weekend. We couldn’t do it without you and I hope, you guys and girls had a little bit of a fun at the race anyhow.

You are very welcome - our crew had a great time FZ'ing it that day.
Awe, thanks! It was my first time feeding instead of racing, and it was more challenging than expected!
