Tweets of the week: Self-isolation week one with Thomas De Gendt, Chloé Dygert and more
Not even coronavirus can stop your tweets, good or bad
Coronavirus has obviously been bad news for cycling as a whole, but there is one small section that will profit from it. Tweets of the week.
With riders and fans around the world stuck indoors, there is basically nothing else to do than to spend hours upon hours crafting the most perfect of tweets. Expect a boom period for this very series in the near future. The Dow may be plummetting but Tweets Of The Week™ stocks are up. Buy buy buy.

Jonny was Cycling Weekly's Weekend Editor until 2022.
I like writing offbeat features and eating too much bread when working out on the road at bike races.
Before joining Cycling Weekly I worked at The Tab and I've also written for Vice, Time Out, and worked freelance for The Telegraph (I know, but I needed the money at the time so let me live).
I also worked for ITV Cycling between 2011-2018 on their Tour de France and Vuelta a España coverage. Sometimes I'd be helping the producers make the programme and other times I'd be getting the lunches. Just in case you were wondering - Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwen had the same ham sandwich every day, it was great.
