If 2020 didn’t have enough twists and turns already, it turns out Khal Drogo is a cycling fan.
Game of Thrones star Jason Momoa has been enjoying the new ultra-lightweight Specialized bike, although inexplicably he has about eight of them.
That’s just one of the weird and wonderful moments from cycling social media over the last week.
We’ve also got Geraint Thomas reacting to the rest of the Giro and Giulio Ciccone on the mic.
Here are our favourite tweets from the last week:
1. Is Jason Momoa really strong, or is the new Specialized really light? Probably both
2. Communication is key in the team car, as Matt Winston learned the hard way
