@Spragg_Coaching Although I'd like to give a clear cut answer, I cannot. Creatine supplementation comes with an increase in BW, which might be a problem. However, a recent study found some benefits for "late-stage breakaways" like conditions: https://t.co/IdRtgOVAZX 1/2

Cyclists! Creatine could help you at the end of a long road or #gravel race! If it comes down to sprint you want the edge. In combination with optimal carbohydrate intake, you’ll also be increasing glycogen storage and supporting hydration. #cycling #creatine pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28806275/
