ExoLactate Gel Aims to Redefine Tour de France Fueling

Aitor Viribay’s ExoLactate, a lactate-based energy gel, is pitched as a breakthrough in endurance fueling, arguing lactate can serve as a primary energy source to support fat burning at low effort and rapid carbohydrate energy at high intensity, potentially giving cyclists a competitive edge in the Tour de France. After past attempts with exogenous lactate reportedly failed, ExoLactate has reportedly cleared regulatory hurdles and is being tested with elite athletes, raising hope that lactate fueling could redefine cycling nutrition—though its practical adoption and verification remain a topic of debate.

NASA's Artemis II fueling fix stalls in latest test

NASA's latest confidence test of the Space Launch System fueling system, including newly replaced seals, partially filled the core-stage liquid hydrogen tank and then encountered a ground support equipment issue that reduced hydrogen flow. The test followed a hydrogen leak observed during Artemis II prep; engineers will purge the line and inspect equipment, including replacing a suspected filter. Artemis II's March launch window could be at risk, but NASA says safety remains the priority and work will continue.
