We’re back!
Christmas is fast approaching and riders are spread across the world enjoying their off-seasons.
We’re currently at the time of the year when riders explore possible career alternatives to professional cycling.
This week we have Peter Sagan as a fighter pilot and Annemiek van Vleuten as a deep-sea diver, plus much more.
Check our our favourite tweets from the last week:
1. Peter Sagan to star in the next Top Gun movie?
Hey @Thom_astro, I pulled 7.9g in my recent flight in a fighter jet. It was a bumpy ride at times but I'm definitely getting better and I'll keep training. Please call me when there is a spot in a @SpaceX rocket to the @Space_Station (You can put me in the cargo bay if needed) pic.twitter.com/HWxscgXWVv

3. Chad Haga taking an old school approach to winter training
Today I rode 4 hours and then shoveled a literal ton of landscaping rock. Before bed, I started brushing my teeth with my daughter's toothbrush.

4. Some riders just want something simple this Christmas
Dear Santa,
Last time I wrote to you when I was 7. Time flies.I have been good kid this year.For this Christmas I really wish new Pro Contract. I know you are busy but maybe your little helpers could deliver me the contract offer as soon as possible.
Sincerely,

5. One thing that seems essential for a team training camp – a bike
Not stoked right now with @tapairportugal : book a flight and training camp and then only now get told we can’t take bicycles. At all. #tapair get in touch please, hoping to resolve.
