To be honest, since the announcement that Covid-19 vaccines were effective the main thing on my mind has been wondering how ‘normal’ things will actually be when ‘things return to normal’.
You kind of hope that we all will have taken stock during this past year indoors and remember to cherish the little things when we’re allowed back outside, instead of just chanting ‘PUB, PUB, PUB’ in unison as we march towards the nearest beer garden.
Judging by this week’s tweets, though, things are not nearly getting back to normal, not even close.
1. This would indeed fulfill Ineos’ promise of more open, exciting racing
Carapaz – high mountain support
Castro – ride the front
Dennis – give me TT advice
Porte – mountain support
G – get me bidons
Yates – wait when I need a piss
Luke – win the race👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 https://t.co/34OXFbYv2a

2. You probably also had time to talk to every single person in Latvia during the broadcasting of Milan – Sanremo from start to finish
Best of luck to the broadcasters today #MSR. If you need something to talk about there's plenty of fun facts about Latvia:
1. More then 50% of it is forests
2. More breweries per capita then Belgium
3. Better chocolate then Belgium (scientifically proven and unquestionable)— Toms Skujiņš (@Tomashuuns) March 20, 2021
3. The irony is that when the website says yes the racing is too exciting for anyone to be wasting time checking a joke website

4. Didn’t see this sort of thing mentioned in the new UCI health and safety measures

5. Harsh, but ask yourself would you rather be a loveable bathtime accessory or an animal with the neck power to break a human arm?

7. People talk about riders’ transition from cyclocross to the road but where’s the respect for Sam Bewley for making it from the WorldTour to Twitter-hacked-cryptocurrency-trading and then back again?
Hoping you all had some success with Bitcoin over the last couple of weeks. If so, I’ll send you my fee, if not my Twitter was hacked. Let’s give it another crack here. Like, share, follow.

8. Yep, things are definitely not even close to back to normal
“Want to hear a joke @markcavendish? By the end of today mate, we’re gonna be running 1-2 on GC in this hilly af stage race”

“You’re a comedian mate”
