Tweets of the week: Chris Froome, Peter Sagan, Alex Dowsett and more
The best social media posts from across the cycling world this week
With the Tour de France 2019 fast approaching, cyclists are doing their last little bits of preparation to make sure they’re ready for 21 days of racing across undulating French countryside.
This obviously includes getting your social media game up to scratch.
Here are the posts that caught our eye this week, featuring Chris Froome, Alex Dowsett and Peter Sagan, of course.
1. Looks like Chris Froome’s crash hasn’t dented his sense of humour.
Well apparently it’s true you can win the Vuelta in bed 💁🏼♂️😄

2. Respect to Tao Geoghegan for surely being the first person to ever use the hashtag #TitaniumCollarbones.
3. Is Alex Dowsett’s wout/van/aert/poel premise cycling’s equivalent of being a flat earth theorist??
I’ve used complex scientific algorithms to select my 2019 official @LeTour fantasy game team. As you know anyone’s name that includes Wout, aert, van & poel is scientifically proven to be better, so this is my team 👇 (I put Zak in also, because teamie) #science pic.twitter.com/YE7D7VrTSJ

4. Once again, it’s Peter Sagan being Peter Sagan.
While training with my @BORAhansgrohe teammates I stopped to give a hand and help prepare stage 1 of @LeTour pic.twitter.com/oW4WFnaLwM

5. Turbo Durbo with a private screening of the CCC team presentation. Seething with jealousy.

6. This break-up is going to hurt. The end of an era.
1/3 Today I’ve been taking a trip down memory lane… 10 years ago I started to follow the wheel of a smooth-as-silk Australian in the sprints & it wasn’t long before we were pretty much unstoppable. pic.twitter.com/OQjo7wt141

7. Only one word for this one. Ouch.

8. Finally, a pro posting some relatable numbers.
Incase you wanted to know my @TrainingPeaks numbers from the team presentation 😉 pic.twitter.com/uFyzsypwY5

9. Froomey’s probably got a whole room in his house full to the brim with these things.
Not how I planned to get one of these this year 😬 Merci @MaillotjauneLCL 😊🦁 pic.twitter.com/QVJI742g1V

10. And to end, the best story about Lance Armstrong you’ll read this week.
BEST STORY ever for the "100 years of the Maillot Jaune" @LeTour, with my friend Jack Robertson, former chief investigator for @wada_ama and his target @lancearmstrong ! Read this, look this spécial maillot jaune !
"Jack, Catch me if you can. Best wishes, Lance Armstrong" !! pic.twitter.com/0ZLYIrsqNA— Antoine VAYER (@festinaboy) June 20, 2019
We’ll be back in seven days’ time for more of the best from social media across the cycling world – expect the Tour de France to feature heavily!
