Best carbohydrate regime for workouts first thing in the morning

I more or less go straight from bed to bike, grab a bottle and a banana on my way, and during the warmup I start guzzling cold brew with 90g maltodextrin in it. The caffeine kicks in pretty quick, and I snack on the banana between intervals. That’s for hour workouts. Longer rides I grab some extra food and maybe a second bottle. I hit close to 120g per hour and feel strong. Some can’t ride so soon after waking, but I kinda like it.
