Well it looks like the start of the racing calendar will be delayed again for most pros, but fear not they’re still keeping us entertained with their social media output.
In this weeks edition of Tweets of the Week, Thomas De Gendt tells us why we shouldn’t drink from bidons at races, while Geraint Thomas and Alex Howes share some parenting tips.
1. Who said cyclocross was fun? They might have lied
Kolarstwo przełajowe to dziwny sport 😅. Takie warunki podczas dzisiejszych mistrzostw Polski 👇

2. Well this is just terrible news to find out at this late stage
Great pro tip. Never drink from a bottle. Some riders pee in bottles and throw it away to people. Yes that’s disgusting. No i have never done this.

UCI testers were the ones that lit the bonfire yesterday morning at our house after an hour trying to get the little lady back to sleep 😭

7. Someone give Magnus Cort his own home makeover show
8. Glad it’s not just me that can’t get into these boxes
These @PersilProClean liquitabs have a child-safe lid only I’m not sure what age range it’s meant to protect against because I’m 32 and I can’t get into them 🤦🏼♀️ pic.twitter.com/2obsnTM7Kd

9. Cheap win for Bernal here, he was just sucking the wheel
10. Maybe a switch to cross country skiiing is in order Elinor?
Does it always snow this much in the UK during winter? When I was little it was the most exciting thing in the world and seemed to happen maybe 2 days a year. Now it feels as common as rain. Does it just feel like it because now I have a bike and not a sledge?
