They count it as gram per hour. If I remember well, pro cyclists can absorb 2-2.5 times as much carbohydrate in an hour than beginners.

I wonder how much of that is adaptive and how much selective. Does your body learn to absorb more, or do you have to have a high absorptivity to make it as a pro.

Both. So they adapted themselves to it, they didn’t born like that. It’s an intentional procedure. However, not everybody can handle that.
