- This is GCN at the Giro d'Italia 2018,
and we thought we would ask the riders
what they had for breakfast.
(crowd cheering)
(soft upbeat music)
Ryan, I would like to know,
what did you have for breakfast today?
- I had an omelette and I had some oats and a banana.
- How many eggs in the omelette?
- Two.
- Porridge and an omelette and some bread with honey.
- Oats, porridge.
- What did you have for breakfast?
(laughs)
- It's porridge with some omelette.
- Weetabix, every day.
- Awesome.
Think carefully before you answer, because it is a big deal.
What did you eat for breakfast?
- I had some white rice, very exciting.
I had some raspberries, a little bit more exciting.
- How many raspberries?
- A good spoonful, a good big spoonful, and some oats,
two scrambled eggs, and three little rice cakes.
- Pasta.
- Really?
- I started off with a bread roll and then came back
for a pre-race meal of pasta and an omelette.
- Anything on your pasta, or just plain?
- Just cheese and olive oil.
- Omelette and some porridge.
- How many eggs in your omelette?
- Three.
- I had a crepe with some quark cheese along the bottom,
spread out, then almond butter circled around the edge,
with homemade granola from the chef,
all lined up, pomegranate, blackberries,
strawberries, and then honey on top.
- That is a breakfast, that is amazing.
What was the--
- It's nice.
- I have to say, I would be trying to steal that breakfast.
What was the crepe made of?
Was it a wheat crepe or was it special, gluten-free?
- It could be buckwheat, I'm not really sure on that one.
- You don't care.
- I don't really care, the flour doesn't really matter.
It just has to be a crepe.
- As a good Spanish guy, I had bread with tomato,
some omelette, and then some oats,
and of course a coffee.
- How many eggs in your omelette?
- Three, today three.
Because it's a hard stage, so I have to be ready.
- For breakfast, an omelette and some oatmeal.
- How many eggs?
- Three.
- Okay, Alex, what did you have for breakfast?
- Bircher, bircher muesli and an omelette.
- I honestly thought you said bird (bleep).
(laughs)
- But our Chef here, Paolo cooked some,
cooked, you don't cook bircher,
but makes a really good bircher, and for me it's
it's a lot nicer than the usual pasta or rice.
- It is an important question,
most important meal of the day.
You know, I kept it pretty boring today,
just because I wanted to be light,
so our nutritionist has this low-res diet
that he has us on occasionally for key stages,
and it was rice, yogurt,
a bun, and eggs.
Very uninteresting.
- No, that's very interesting.
You're the most scientific answer I've had all day.
How many eggs?
- Two.
- I can tell you exactly what I had
for breakfast this morning.
I had two slices of, like, semi-high-fiber spelt bread,
plain two-egg omelette with mashed banana, honey on top of it.
- In the omelette?
- On top of it.
- On top of the omelette, you had banana?
- Yeah, yeah, I only do sweet breakfasts.
- Some porridge, some pasta, with a little bit
of avocado, prosciutto, and
omelette.
- All mixed together or separate?
- No, no, separate.
- What did you eat for breakfast today?
- An omelette, a bit of porridge, and a toast with marmalade.
- All mixed together or separately?
- Oh no, separately, come on.
- We just had someone who put banana in his omelette.
- Yeah, that's weird.
- Yeah, how many eggs in your omelette?
- Two.
- Well, that was fascinating.
A lot of very exciting breakfasts,
but a common theme, I think, of eggs.
