Victoria Pendleton Gatorade Video: Victoria Pendleton washes down her Hovis sarnie with some Gatorade
What do you do when you've pushed your bike up that hill and munched your way through a packet of Hovis? If you're the divine Ms Pendleton you get your lycra on and wash down that bread all with some Gatorade.
Well that's if some Danny MacAskill type scamp doesn't steal it off you leading to some cycling hijinks as Victoria gives chase, he's got the tricks but she's got the speed and as we all know crime doesn't pay… well, not in adverts anyway. Hopefully I haven't spoiled the ending for anyone there.
Actually the impressive urban jumping about stunts are courtesy of another of the UK's top young trials riders, Ali Clarkson. The "making of" vid is quite interesting too, where you'll learn that it's just as well doing up your lid isn't part of the start for any Olympic cycling disciplines. Ah, I've rather spoiled that ending too… sorry.
road.cc's founder and first editor, nowadays to be found riding a spreadsheet. Tony's journey in cycling media started in 1997 as production editor and then deputy editor of Total Bike, acting editor of Total Mountain Bike and then seven years as editor of Cycling Plus. He launched his first cycling website - the Cycling Plus Forum at the turn of the century. In 2006 he left C+ to head up the launch team for Bike Radar which he edited until 2008, when he co-launched the multi-award winning road.cc - finally handing on the reins in 2021 to Jack Sexty. His favourite ride is his ‘commute’ - which he does most days inc weekends and he’s been cycle-commuting since 1994. His favourite bikes are titanium and have disc brakes, though he'd like to own a carbon bike one day.

TBF I think that's before she saw the light and got on her bike. Not so great if her views have been informed by Mr. Briggs though.

Gatorade? What Gatorade?
Oh- Sorry, I was looking at something else there
The BMX guy? well if it makes you happy as the rest of us were looking at Victoria...pedalling technique that is.
(Just joking fuzzy.)
@david french; what do you want from your brilliant perfomance drinks? Sugar and a bit of salt does me fine, bonus if it tastes alright.
Something that is designed to improve my performance rather than just taste really sweet.
Yes because Gatorade is a brilliant performance sports drink and not just a load of sugar at all
