The UCI is set to approve the use of ketone supplements in the peloton, after a multi-year study into the product has concluded that they are safe and do not offer a significant performance enhancement to users.
Despite that research, leading teams such as Visma-Lease a Bike, Soudal Quick-Step and Alpecin-Deceuninck all use ketones, with several teams even having an official ketone partner. Most teams give their riders a free choice – they can take the supplements at their will, or refuse to.
