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 Geraint Thomas, Ben Swift, and Sam Bewley.
1. Too heavy, but never too old
I don’t like it when my daughter always tells me: Daddy you are too heavy 🤔 pic.twitter.com/MPuC1kuF3j

3. Some people are just plain rude
When you’re paying for something that’s £14 & you don’t have a tenner, so give a bigger note plus 4x£1 coins & the shop assistant goes “Don’t you have anything smaller?” Nah mate, I’ve just been trying to make it as manageable as possible for you so I get a bit of maths practice.

5. This is going to give me nightmares
When your rolling out the door at 2000m and -5 its a bit of a process getting kitted up @estecharu pic.twitter.com/NXJjNTr6DI

6. The poll should really be “Why has Alex called his cat Mary?”
Head over to my insta to vote on who’s leg is better, Mary is destroying me currently pic.twitter.com/wBhIQ2nnxF

7. I think we’d all like to be a bit more like Bob Jungels
8. Ben Swift wasn’t enjoying the cold weather this week…
Well that was a eventful ride. 2 crashes on ice, 1 coffee stop and arriving home in a snow blizzard. Thankfully got away lightly with the crashes.

9. … and neither was Ryan Mullen – even in Girona!
Me: "We should turn back mate there's ice in the shade here."@H_McComick "Nah that's not ice that's just frost"
14 seconds later both on our arses.
I get bored being right…

December 1st, when it’s ok to eat chocolate for breakfast 🤤🤓🤪🎄 #yesistillhaveanadventcalendar
