82. Ned Boulting, time-traveller

This week Robyn and Will are joined by commentator, podcaster and author Ned Boulting, to discuss his new book '1923: The Mystery of Lot 212 and a Tour de France Obsession'. After being alerted to an old film reel from the Tour de France being sold at auction in 2020, Ned set off on a journey to find out all about it including the race, the riders, the onlookers, the social and political context and its spooky reflections in the modern world. Ned also shares his thoughts about the 2023 Tour de France and Tour de France Femmes, explains why he hates predictions and makes some of his own.

We hear a lot about ketones in the pro peloton, but what are they?

According to the experts H.V.M.N, ketones are a natural source of fuel for your body. When stored carbs are depleted, your body starts to convert fat into ketones. Studies show that ketones are 28% more efficient than glucose, making them a super-efficient fuel source for the brain and the body.

These benefits led H.V.M.N to create Ketone-IQ: a drinkable ketone designed to support energy, focus and endurance.

Developed alongside the U.S. military, Ketone-IQ is one of the most powerful ketone supplements on the market. It’s designed to elevate your ketone levels for up to 4 hours – much longer than other products. Plus, it’s vegan, caffeine free, and compliant with the World Anti-Doping Agency’s guidelines. That’s a major win for athletes.

Ketone-IQ Shots are the best way to get your ketones on the go. They’re portable, convenient, and fit perfectly in your pocket during a ride or a race.

You can save 20% on Ketone-IQ using the promo code CYCLIST at https://hvmn.com/CYCLIST?
