Meet Blanche Flémal, Nutri-Bay ambassador
Our ambassadors have talent!
This time, it is not an ambassador but an ambassadress: Blanche Flémal. Indeed, our ambassador was featured in a Belgian press article in the newspaper L'Avenir dated February 4, 2024.
After the 7 rounds of the Belgian Ardennes Marathon Series, Blanche finished 2nd woman in the elite general standings, with the distinction of being the only woman to have completed all the longest distances. It was an ambitious goal she had set for herself, and she achieved it!
Her main reward? A nomination for the Nivelles (Belgium) Sports Awards!
Cycling, more than a passion:
Blanche sees cycling as a way of life, beyond simply being her passion. Bike commuting, running errands, getting around, going on vacation...
Cycling has taken up a considerable place in her daily life. It is rare for a day to go by without her getting on a bike. In addition to mountain biking, she also actively practices gravel riding, though not yet competitively, even if she is preparing for a 115 km challenge by April. Our ambassador also plans to ride the roads of Belgium, France, and Switzerland throughout 2024!
Blanche in 2023 was...
12,488.7 km - 595h 50min - 140,123 m of elevation gain
Her mission – to give women visibility:
An unfortunate reality: women are underrepresented in mountain biking. In Belgium, only around twenty women take part in the marathon rounds.
Blanche wants to popularize this sport and
Blanche would like to understand why so few women practice this discipline. Her wish is to popularize the sport by trying to inspire women and encourage them to take it up.
"My goal here is to promote women's sports, which is extremely important to me. Especially over long distances."

This is the name she decided to give her organization, or at least the name she uses when talking about it. For her, this organization represents continuity! After spending years with Bike4Life, Blanche decided to continue growing independently while remaining humble and enjoying herself, as shown by the chick she had printed on her outfit! Later on, she is not ruling out expanding her organization.
Her favorite products at Nutribay
- At breakfast, before every race, her essential item is obviously Sportdej from OVERSTIM'S.
Her little tip: prepare it the day before and leave it to rest in the fridge. In the morning, it feels like eating chocolate mousse, providing comfort before exercise.
- During races, she obviously uses gels and electrolytes. She prefers the High5 brand. The gels are easy to digest and come in a variety of flavors.
- After exercise, comfort with a protein pancake from the Näno Supps
