Ten tweets that caught our eye this week from the professional peloton
1. Luke Rowe caught Condor-JLT rider Tom Moses boosting his own popularity on Facebook

3. Don’t worry, Jody Cundy. You’re not the only one to have forgotten about this weekend’s boat race.
Also I forgot about the boat race!

5. Wednesday was a bad day for Craig Lewis. Read our handy guide to Strava KOMs and get them all back, Craig!
I guess if you're going to lose KOM's it might as well me to this guy… pic.twitter.com/kuw3z2nhVC

6. On a more serious note, riders at the Tour of the Basque Country held a protest at the start of stage two after a huge crash the previous day left several riders badly hurt.
Organisers were widely criticised for choosing a route with metal poles sticking out the ground so close to the racing line.
5 minutes delay at the start of stage 2 of Vuelta Pais Vasco, is that enough to express that what happened yesterday is unacceptable?

7. Zdenek Stybar looks absolutely terrifying without his false teeth. The Etixx-Quick-Step rider had to remove his gnashers during a bumpy Tour of Flanders.
8. The French air traffic controllers are on strike? Never.
Since yesterday the French Air Traffic controllers have made my life hard. New Flights, Hotel & hours of waiting around. Thanks for that.

9. Matt Brammeier always dreamed of riding the Tour of Flanders. On Sunday he got in the break and won his weight in beer at a sprint point. That fella on the top step would have been proud.
10. Geraint Thomas may not have won the Tour of Flanders, but at least the Welshman had some of his national delicacies waiting at the finishing line.
Gave everything today but wasn't meant to be… At least we still have welsh cakes 🙂 #wontlastthenight pic.twitter.com/5veGm0gwDt
