Michael Woods (Canada) blew up the cycling internet before Tadej Pogačar (Slovenia) blew up the men’s road race at the UCI Road World Championships in Zürich on Sunday. A television camera captured Woods eating from a plastic bowl with a spoon while riding, only an hour or so after the start of the 273.9km road race.  

Some people on social media and television thought he was doing some late carbohydrate loading or enjoying a Sunday brunch. Others soon realised the Canadian national champion was actually eating some bicarbonate gel, which supposedly helps counteract the negative effects of lactic acid accumulation.
