It’s been a hectic world for riders at the Critérium du Dauphiné.
While Jumbo-Visma have dominated the top step, the rest of the peloton have had to combat bad legs, hailstorms and social distancing measures.
Thankfully riders have been sharing their experiences online, so we’ve collected just a few of our favourite moments.
Check out some of the best tweets over the last week, from Annemiek van Vleuten, Geraint Thomas and more:

7. Become a pro cyclist, they said. It’ll be fun, they said.
8. Why do we get the feeling Van Vleuten actually wants MORE switchbacks?
9. Sometimes injuries in the pro peloton actually come from above
Tim Declercq and Maxime Chevalier after the stage, wow. 😳😬 That looks so painful, poor guys…Cycling is the new golf, just that you get hit by golf ball hailstones. #Dauphine pic.twitter.com/F4e1cybdx5
