Did you know that stress and physical exertion can significantly alter taste perception and texture preferences? As the Tour de France enters its critical second week, riders are deep in the fatigue zone, having already pushed body and mind through hundreds of kilometers and grueling climbs, burning up to 9,000 kcal per day. And while fueling elite athletes might sound like a numbers game — carbs, protein, hydration — it’s just as much about sensory experience. Because under intense physical stress, what tastes good can change: sweet flavors often become more appealing, sour ones may be rejected, even familiar textures can suddenly feel off-putting. That’s a serious challenge when eating enough isn’t optional — it’s non-negotiable. At dsm-firmenich, we are proud to support Team Picnic PostNL as their innovation partner in nutrition and health. Together, we’ve optimized personalized daily nutrition plans for each rider, supporting performance, recovery, health, and well-being. We’ve also combined our strengths in nutrition science and sensory innovation to co-develop the up4™ sports nutrition range — designed to prevent taste fatigue and support daily intake goals, helping riders fuel effectively from start to the final climb. With Team Picnic PostNL, we’re not just pushing the boundaries of elite sport — it’s a testing ground for solutions that perform under real-world pressure. What we learn here helps shape our end-of-the-end innovations in nutrition and health for athletes, consumers, and partners around the globe. Because when science and sport come together, progress isn’t just possible — it’s inevitable.

Bringing progress to life by boosting vitality and strength — one ride at a time. During the grueling stages of the Tour de France, riders from Team Picnic PostNL push their bodies to the limit — braving heat, wind, rain, and relentless climbs. They walk a fine line between peak performance and physical burnout. Did you know? • 90% of our vitamin D comes from sunlight • 88% of people have suboptimal levels • Many athletes — especially in winter — struggle to maintain healthy vitamin D status • It can take months to restore optimal levels through diet or sunlight alone That’s why supporting immune health with vitamin D isn’t just a benefit — it’s essential. We’re proud to fuel their resilience with up4™ Vitamin D strips with ampli-D® — a next-gen, fast-absorbing form of vitamin D that works 2.5x faster than standard D3. Why ampli-D® matters: ✅ Fast-acting immune, muscle, and bone support ✅ Reaches optimal levels in weeks, not months ✅ Thin Film format — no pills, no water, just go With ampli-D®, we’re helping Team Picnic PostNL ride stronger, recover smarter, and stay ahead in one of the toughest sports on earth. This is how we bring science-backed progress to life — from the lab, through the peloton, to the public at large.
