What are some evidence-based strategies for managing hydration during multi-day cycling events or stage races to minimize the risk of dehydration, particularly in extreme weather conditions, and how do teams and riders balance the need for optimal hydration with the practical challenges of limited access to clean water and bathroom facilities during long stages.
Considering the varying individual sweat rates and electrolyte losses, what methods can be employed to monitor and assess hydration status in real-time, and how do these methods inform hydration strategies during the event.
Are there any differences in hydration strategies between riders competing in grand tours, such as the Tour de France, and those competing in shorter stage races, and if so, what are the key factors that influence these differences.
How do teams and riders adapt their hydration strategies to accommodate changes in weather, altitude, and terrain, and what role do sports scientists, coaches, and other support staff play in developing and implementing effective hydration plans.
