Bike racing is officially back!

Even though it's been a shorter off-season, it still felt like a long wait for the peloton to return.

While there are plenty of riders testing their legs in Étoile de Bessèges, most riders are still hard at training for their own racing returns.

In the latest edition of Tweets of the Week we have a combination of racing insights and more training gold from the world of cycling social media, here are just a few of our favourites:

1. Why is this so entertaining?
