There's obviously a lot of people in here who don't have ADHD and haven't got the faintest clue what methylphenidate actually does for people with it. I take it daily and it absolutely doesn't improve my performance at all. The only thing I've ever noticed it do is sometimes making me feel worse during exercise and burning out faster. I've tried various dosages to find the right balance and the general trend was that, the higher the dosages got the worse I felt during physical exertions. It's a huge help just for functioning in everyday life though, so I guess it improves performance in terms of being an adult.
It obviously affects people differently, especially those without ADHD, so I can't speak for everyone, but Remco is pretty much a textbook case of ADHD, so if he has a TUE I'm willing to bet it's not doing much for him on the bike, but helping him massively with everything else he needs to do in life unrelated to his sport.

Regarding the red bull transfer bruhaha
If he wants to win, he need sot stay on Mapei. That way he can compete with the Bank Robbers and Saunier-Duval

Remco is fuelling itself with random soft drinks and gummy bears ahead of the world championship. Either they cut out the part where Oumi stores Remco's blood in the fridge, or I massively overspent on sports nutritions
They say nutrition monitoring in cycling when most just mean calories/energy consumption.
Some will be doing it of course, but from the videos I've watched not much attention paid to proper macros or, vitamin/minerals, athletes ate cleaner 10 years ago, even in the gym that super regulated whole foods only thing has gone out of fashion.

Spot on from my family experience. A youngster in the family was very moody and immature but generally good natured. Schoolwork was spotty. He also was a ridiculously good baseball player that hated the routine of practice.
On counselling he was given light medication which seemed to help all symptoms. His interest in sports changed; he didn't want to participate. He's insanely competitive and a very good alpine skier with all of the skills related to that. He also loves it. His family is encouraging him to work out more regularly as he's growing quickly and starting to muscle up. Not so he'd embrace sport so much as become attached to a good lifelong habit like he's taking to skiing.
Yeah, froome was doing the nutrition stuff 10 years ago but I remember him talking about pea shoots in his porridge and special recovery shakes with specific proteins. Gerant Thomas talking about fish and salad dinners to lose weight at teide and Nibali only being allowed apricots for dessert during big training camps
As you said everything now is just how much carbs to consume per gram of bodyweight for fueling the prescribed ride for the day in terms of kjoule expenditure. Stuffing a lot more processed carbs and weighting everything. Really boring in my opinion, and it also never helped my own training, all that weighting and calorie tracking, it just made me hate my life
Its all about the sugar, i.e. carbs. Might as well drink Fanta and eat gummy bears instead of drinking expensive sports drinks and overpriced energybars and gels. And as everyone should know by now, people have realized that you can go 90 instead of 60 and now 120 instead of 90. Thats the big one.
Anyways, nothing is controversial or surprising about that video at all outside of just casually eating some high fat, 1000 calories ben and jerries. I dno about that one, that seems *** stupid.
Eddy just said "it's obvious he is now above me". It's posted on this site and others and not part of any extensive review. Eddy is generally reserved in praise and that's as good as it gets. Believe what you want.
I'd like to think I've been fair with my opinion of all riders and especially so towards Remco. "Tadej this year is not normal" is code for having an edge, possibly not legal or available to his training. It isn't meant as a compliment as Remco himself has had to defend against the otherworldly references. Again, you're welcome to believe what you want.
Do you speak Dutch? Because in Belgium it’s a common expression to say something isn’t normal as a way to praise someone.
No doubt it could be an excerpt poorly translated. That said; his "not normal this season" are his words. If he didn't intend any implications he could use more care. It's as though his own results should be accepted as crystal reality by comparison. None of these guys can escape speculation so they should all treat each other with that in mind. Unless they know something and are willing to man up and call it out. Few on these forums are naive, either.
Sorry but this is complete bull. Anyone who has Dutch as their native language knows that this saying ('da's niet normaal wat hij doet dit seizoen'), is absolutely harmless and meant that you are admiring someone's capabilities. People seeing beef where there isn't any.
No, nor Belgian. Remco was speaking English so he could shed light on any misinterpretations.
Really? MvP used similar phrasing, in English. The expression on his face wasn't a reflection of admiration. These guys are internationally applying their language skills in interviews. When they phrase something that may not come off outside of the Netherlands to international broadcasts they at least should understand the history of that language. Again....they used English. When they are really, really angry or very very happy they use an English word related to the act of sex. People that don't know 2 words of English know that one...
Perhaps you can find a similar phrasing by Remco when he was cozying up to Pogacar during the Tour? Not likely.

Actually I thought VdP was very gracious in defeat, and it seems Pogacar likes him a lot.
Yeah the kid has to go back and explain himself again, because people misinterpret him. Maybe people should just stop looking for problems all the time.
Just realised that if cycling highlights is correct about Remco being known to be on Ritalin since Lombardia it also means it didn't prevent the Lombardia crash.
I still wonder if he has side effects of Ritalin because it looks like it.

Side affects of ritalin: 'loss of appetite', 'weight loss' , yeah remco is no taking this stuff
maybe high fructose corn syrup has EPO-like effects?
the crap he buys at the convenience store really is shocking
