Gluten Free Garmin Wins Tour de France Team Classification
Pro Cyclists Include Bakery On Main Gluten Free Granola in Their Recipe for Success
On Sunday, July 24, The Garmin-Cervélo Professional Cycling Team earned a spot on the final podium in Paris with victory in the prestigious team’s competition at the Tour de France. This year was especially successful for the team whose diet no doubt contributed to the win.
In 2008, the Garmin-Cervélo Professional Cycling Team experimented with a low gluten diet, a tradition it continues today.
“My performance really improved a lot- there was definitely a correlation,” rider Tom Danielson told Men’s Journal. “ I think that my digestion is better, and because of that my sleep is better and my recovery is better.”
Bakery On Main’s Gluten Free Granolas in Nutty Cranberry Maple, Extreme Fruit & Nut and Apple Raisin Walnut, were selected for inclusion in the Garmin- Cervélo Team’s by the team chiropractor, Matthew Rabin.
“Absolutely love the products,” said Rabin. “Exactly what would be beneficial for our riders and sits perfectly alongside our dietary ethos.”
“I created our gluten free granola as a way to give Celiacs something that was good for them but tastes like it isn’t,” said Bakery On Main founder, Michael Smulders. “It’s exciting to learn that there are other ways our gluten free granola can be good for you.”
