Virginia’s Blue Ridge TWENTY28 Women’s UCI team is proud to announce an exciting new partnership with Precision Fuel & Hydration, a global leader in personalized race nutrition solutions for endurance athletes.
This partnership will provide VBR TWENTY28 riders with science-backed fuel and hydration strategies, ensuring they can optimize their performance in training and competition. Precision Fuel & Hydration’s cutting-edge products and individualized race nutrition plans will play a key role in helping the team tackle the demands of professional cycling.
“Race nutrition is one of the most critical yet often overlooked aspects of performance,” said Nicola Cranmer, General Manager of Virginia’s Blue Ridge TWENTY28. “We are excited to work with Precision Fuel & Hydration to ensure our athletes have access to the best fuel and hydration products and strategies available. Their expertise will be invaluable as we prepare for the season.”
Through this collaboration, TWENTY28 athletes will have access to Sweat Tests, ensuring each rider uses the correct strength of electrolyte drink tailored to their sweat composition and individual needs. This level of detail allows the team to stay ahead of hydration-related performance issues, in all race conditions.
In addition to optimizing fluid intake, endurance athletes require precise carbohydrate fueling strategies to sustain energy levels during long races and intense training sessions. Precision Fuel & Hydration’s products work seamlessly with the team’s nutrition plan, allowing the riders to ensure they’re consuming enough carbs to maintain their performance during. Their carefully designed electrolyte and carbohydrate formulations ensure that athletes stay hydrated and maintain optimal energy availability.
“We are excited to partner with Virginia’s Blue Ridge TWENTY28 and support their mission of developing elite female cyclists,” said Precision Fuel & Hydration co-founder, Andy Blow. “Our goal is to provide the team with fuel and hydration solutions that enhance their training, recovery, and race-day execution, giving them the edge they need to perform at the highest level.”
As Virginia’s Blue Ridge TWENTY28 continues its journey towards the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics, this partnership marks another key step in ensuring the team has the best resources available to compete at the highest levels of the sport.

About precision Fuel & Hydration
We launched Precision Fuel & Hydration in 2011 after years working with elite athletes and technology partners to develop a simple and effective way to help athletes understand and manage their individual hydration needs.
Our Founder, Andy Blow, has a degree in Sport and Exercise Science and was a regular podium finisher in elite short course triathlon racing in his younger days. But he had some very poor results when racing in the heat and at longer IRONMAN distances. He suffered badly from cramping and had other hydration related issues including hyponatremia (low blood sodium levels, which can have some nasty consequences). This was despite following the widely accepted hydration advice available at the time. FULL STORY HERE!
