No, of course you haven’t. What a ridiculous thing to even propose. Running over a line of moving cyclists? Shut the front door.
What you are about to see puts the running of the bulls in Pamplona to shame. A stampede of terrifying 1,000kg bovine? A piece of cake compared to running on the backs of 11 moving cyclists and not completely stacking it. What I’m saying is, if this isn’t an Olympic sport by 2030 then scrap the whole thing.
Oh, and in more normal programming, Mark Cavendish is trying out bobsledding, Richard Carapaz is doing his best Thibaut Pinot impression by hanging out with a bunch of livestock and a mainstream media conspiracy against Everesting has been uncovered.
1. Prepare yourself for what you’re about to witness

2. While many of Team Ineos’ Grand Tour contenders fret over leadership roles, Richard Carapaz is out here milking cows
3. I’ve been reliably informed that ‘diff’ means Cardiff, so can concur this is Geraint Thomas being funny, or as he would probably say: ‘nny’.

4. For the £319.92 price Jacob Tipper has spent on Strava over the years, he could have instead purchased 1,279 Freddos or thirty-eight-and-a-half birthday messages from Simon Geschke. But everyone makes their own choices I guess.

5. A second suitcase for all the trophies and sprint jerseys? Just saying, might as well try and speak things into existence
Its been so long since I had to pack for a long camp/race with @deceuninck_qst that I forget how to pack. #whatdoibring pic.twitter.com/g5FIP4Njod

6. To be fair, Wiggins tried to become a rower after retiring from cycling. Would absolutely love to see Cav representing Team GB at Beijing 2022.
7. Nothing to see here, just two EF Pro Cycling riders clearly enjoying the latest instalment of tweets of the week.
8. Sickening. Once again the mainstream media are refusing to report on what’s actually going on in the world.
Not a word about Lachlan Morton, Lauren De Crescenzo, Keegan Swenson or even @philgaimon. Sad. pic.twitter.com/8LTCYXYML4

9. How did you know this is exactly what I needed to hear right now Phil x
If you’re slow riding a bike, it doesn’t mean you suck. It’s just more time to love.

10. The more ridiculous Peter Sagan promotional vids there are knocking about, the closer we must be to some bike racing. Good.
The most loved cuisine in the world has its rules! Today, I turn into a @BORAGmbH chef to reveal them to you. Don't miss the appointment with the #Giro 103!#PeterIsReady, October 3-25, are you?@giroditalia pic.twitter.com/GrKDMoDMMK

We’ll be back in seven days’ time for more of the best from social media across the cycling world.
