As we all know, cyclists and Twitter is often a fantastic combination, allowing the fans a behind the scenes look at what goes on in and around the professional peloton. Here are some of the tweets that caught our eye this week, including ones from Sir Bradley Wiggins, Jasper Stuyven and Florian Senechal,
1. Charlie Tanfield was late to the TT and his mates loved it

3. Dan Martin thinks Krusty the Clown could be the man to lead the CPA
To clarify I am pro @millarforcpa because I am pro change. I do believe David can do a good job and more closely understands the sentiments in todayβs peloton but at this point the desire for change is so strong @KrustytheClown would win a fair election.

4. Surrey school that announced cycling number plates for students is still coming under fire
The school head should require parents who drive to be registered with the school, have a school registration plate or something. https://t.co/kbMHhYoaTI

5. Toms SkjinΕ‘ doesn’t like to make a big deal of the World Championships
The other day I was texting something about cookies or potatoes with @Tomashuuns. There was a 2-hr break where he didnβt respond and then we were chatting again. I realized eventually that heβd raced world TTT championships and not mentioned it. What a great, humble dude. π₯
