You know what doesn’t get said enough? ‘God bless the tweeters of this world’. 24 hours a day, seven days a week, they’re on the timeline risking RSI from scrolling and on the lookout for anything amusing from their daily life, just to set their notifications alight.
This is an especially difficult endeavour while on lockdown during a global pandemic, so kudos to the tweeters still doing the most during these trying times. Here are 10 of the best from the past seven days.
1. How about if you just ask them what the Tour de France means to them and if they reply ‘the Tour is the Tour’ then they’re good to go
Haha “but officer look at my crisp tan lines”

2. Chris Hoy speaking nothing but facts
Anyone else noticed on @GoZwift how many people type away on the public messages, telling the world how hard they’re pushing, or they’re ‘on the limit’? Here’s a tip; if you’re able to type you aren’t at your limit! 😉😂👍🏻#rideon

3. ‘Stop when it hurts’ is certainly a piece of advice from pros that I haven’t heard before
Got some serious blisters from my run yesterday. Note to my self: stop when it hurts

4. Love the home gym TikTok content from Chris but when will he do the renegade dance?!
Me to my coach “I’m just going to take it easy today”. Also me 👇😬 #WahooAllIn @TeamINEOS @ScienceinSport @tiktok_uk https://t.co/x64wPxsgzh pic.twitter.com/2gA3RunfTY

5. This is cute
My newest @bahrainmclaren teammate😍🧡
Casper’s not even 2, but he’s OBSESSED with cycling. He wants to come & sit on my @meridabikes when I’m riding. So I’ve made him up a little indoor trainer so he can ride with me each day. Absolutely melts my heart.https://t.co/J30mGns2Gv pic.twitter.com/ZCTqaXadkD— Mark Cavendish (@MarkCavendish) April 30, 2020
6. Honestly, when real racing resumes I’m going to be so shocked when one rider doesn’t just peel off the front and holds their effort until the finish line
You know you’ve been indoors too much when someone asks you what the @factorbikes ONE is like and you reply “in real life or on Zwift?”

7. Is this Thomas De Gendt or Agatha Christie?
I met my wife that day.

8. Let’s check in on Sam Bewley, see how he’s doing…oh…
Things are not going well!! #alonewithsam pic.twitter.com/yDL1iQyLeO

9. A classic
A conversation with @alexdowsett today brought up on of my all time fave sport quotes to a reporter from @ChrisHoy – Beijing 2008*
* to be clear Alex was not referring to himself in the third person.

10. To be fair, it is quite an ominous picture
Thanks!! When I saw the picture I thought you were debating throwing it in🙈🤣 #justFYI There’s also ‘The Tour According to G’ 🤣👍 https://t.co/6yWwxRpXwh
