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

Jonny Long

Jonny was Cycling Weekly's Weekend Editor until 2022.

I like writing offbeat features and eating too much bread when working out on the road at bike races.

Before joining Cycling Weekly I worked at The Tab and I've also written for Vice, Time Out, and worked freelance for The Telegraph (I know, but I needed the money at the time so let me live).

I also worked for ITV Cycling between 2011-2018 on their Tour de France and Vuelta a España coverage. Sometimes I'd be helping the producers make the programme and other times I'd be getting the lunches. Just in case you were wondering - Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwen had the same ham sandwich every day, it was great.
