I keep reading how there’s no strong evidence that exogenous ketones are beneficial for training, and how it can even decrease your performance in some situations.
If this is the case though, how come Jumbo Visma Lease a Bike, one of the more scientifically advanced endurance sports teams in the world, chooses to work with Ketone IQ?

From listening to Geraint Thomas's podcast it seems they (cyclists) use them to aid recovery (ie immediately after a stage), not pre or during the stage for improving performance. Personally it seems a lot of money for a very marginal benefit for 99.9% of letsrun users.

Its been dropped hard by elite cycling teams after testing between 2019 and now, the main producer/marketer KeytoneIQ has changed the purpose/benefit of the product several times in the past 3 years, and now they are just straight up adding caffeine muddying the user perception.
Red flags all around.
Sound science behind keytones in the process, just really lukewarm practical application sports science through digestion
