Change in sports drink blamed for UAE's poor Tour de France performance
Norway's TV2 says team's new drink caused the body toౠ absorb too much fluid
A change in sports drinks before the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour de France is being blamed for 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:UAE Team Emirate's 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:lacklustre performance in the French Grand Tou✃💦r, where general classification rider Fabio Aru f🥂inished nearly half an hour down, sprinter Ale🔴xander Kristoff failed to win a stage and Irishman Dan Martin never cracked the top 10.
TV 2 Norway cycling expert and former pro the team's new dr✃ink causes the body to absorb too much fluid, making it difficult to get the body to function 100 per cent.
"If it is correct, it is very big," TV2 Norway cycling expert and coach Johan Kaggestad said in a rꦬeport published on the TV2 website.
"Going into this year's most important cycling race and starting with something new they haven't tried before is a total loss," Kaggestad said. "You have to use at what you are used to using and confident in. There can be no fooling with anything new that will revolutionise the world. It is unprofessional by the UAE. This i♉s a total lack of management."
Hush༒ovd agreed that it's not a good idea to try new products before a big race, no matter the pressure from sponsors.
"It's a little strange in all types of top sports, that when you come to the biggest events, suppliers come up with꧙ something new to be promoted and marketed, and then it often fails," said the 2010 world champion.

"We have hꦫad no problem with our energy drink," team communications manager Andrea Agostini told TV2. "We will do an intern✨al evaluation and investigate why Kristoff did not perform as we had hoped."
Sve🃏n Erik Bystrøm, who finished the race in 110th, was one of the riders who said he did not feel well during the Tour, although he did not place blame for the lack of good sensations.
"I think it's a little premature to say," Bystrøm told TV2. "We almost have to evaluate what happened next. Had it been so easy, we could have just replaced it. ♔It's probably a little more complex than that. I think we can get strengthened out of this Tour de France."
