I think 8hr tempo rides may possibly make you an exceptional case. Personally speaking the longest race I'll do is 120km, you don't need to train your gut for that. If I did 2hrs + on a turbo I'd be minded to eat normal food (dates, nuts etc). You could even put a lovely little spread of food on a plate next to you because you know, you're inside on a turbo, rather than struggling to get something down mid-race hoping that someone doesn't attack before you've finished chewing/swallowing.
