Discover the extreme training methods of Tour de France teams to battle the scorching heat.

The Tour de France is known for its grueling challenges, but battling the scorching heat adds another level of difficulty. Teams have come up with innovative ways to prepare and recover from the intense heat. Sauna sessions are a common practice among cyclists to acclimatize their bodies to high temperatures. Heat chambers are also utilized to simulate the conditions they will face during the race. Additionally, cold baths help in reducing body temperature and inflammation post-training.

Air-conditioned buses and hotels play a crucial role in providing relief to cyclists between stages. These mobile cooling stations allow riders to cool down and recover in a comfortable environment. Hydration and nutrition are closely monitored to ensure that the athletes maintain peak performance in extreme heat.

Despite the challenges posed by the heat, Tour de France teams are relentless in their pursuit of victory. Their dedication to training and innovative recovery techniques showcase their determination to conquer even the most unforgiving conditions. From sauna sessions to cold baths and air-conditioned facilities, cyclists spare no effort in preparing for the heat.
