How’s everyone coping without racing?
Have you started re-watching old editions of Paris-Roubaix yet? Or maybe you’ve started getting into cross country skiing on Eurosport?
The pros are also getting used to their off seasons and luckily for us it means they have more time to treat us to some quality content on social media.
Here’s our regular round-up of the best tweets from the cycling world in the last seven days, featuring Geraint Thomas, Ellen Noble and Valtteri Bottas.
1. Luke Rowe rubs salt into the wound for Thomas
Do you really need any help on this subject?

2. The Olympic Madison team no one was expecting
Had a dream last night that I did a Madison with John Cena. It was awful because I literally could not see him to change with so I did the whole race on the fence.

5. An insight into Sam Bennett’s priorities
I asked my wonderful husband what he would pick if he could have EITHER;-
1. Our wedding day
Or
2. His champs Elysees and Green Jersey win in Paris
His reply?
"Couldn't we have our wedding another time?"
