How many calories does a Tour de France rider burn on a tough mountain day?
9000
Background
On a hard mountain day a pro cyclist can burn up to 9000 calories. That is about four times what a normal adult needs in a whole day. The riders eat rice cakes and gels even while riding. Without constant refueling the race would be impossible to finish.
