Things are getting stressful for cycling fans.
The Tour de France is heating up and it’s running in tandem with Tirreno-Adriatico, while the biggest stage race on the women’s calendar the Giro Rosa is also about to kick off.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed by all the bike racing, why not take some respite in some cycling social media.
In this edition of Tweets of the Week, we have some love for Sam Bennett after his emotional stage win, a bit of Christmas cheer from former team-mates Nathan Haas and Alex Dowsett, oh and of course Egan Bernal’s dodgy undercut.
Here are just a few of our favourite tweets from the last week:
1. Bennett has skills on and (getting) off the bike

So it’s nice to wear a jersey, but having @alexdowsett sing Xmas songs every time he passed me really made it a double edged sword pic.twitter.com/rFrvbr4WGd
