摘要：Feeding is crutial to perform at the highest level in elite sport. So, to offer feeding patterns to the next Moto GP pilots, we have analyzed the feeding patterns of 27 elite young worldwide motorcycling pilots coming from the 5 continents, selected after a rigorous process developed by the organizers of the word motorcycling championship (Moto GP). It has been found that although pilots give a big importance to their weigth and feeding, their feeding habits are not adapted to the standards and recommendations for athletes. They are no big or meaningful differences for any of the macronutrients in the training sessions and the period before a competition. Regarding hidratation, there are significant differences between a training day and a competition one (p=0,008). Results suggest that feeding habits of the elite young motorcyclists should be clearly improved, stablishing patterns that involve athletes, parents, and coaches, all of them taking care about the nutrition.
