We’re deep into the off season now but the outstanding Twitter content just keeps on flowing.
Riders are now getting back into training and heading off on team camps so we’re getting an insight into the weird and wonderful world of pro cycling team building.
Bora-Hansgrohe have been riding unicycles, Trek-Segafredo riders have been getting heated over Twitter polls, and Phil Gaimon gave a dog caffeine.
Here are the best tweets from the cycling world this week:
