As we all know, cyclists and social media are often a fantastic combination, allowing the fans a behind the scenes look at what goes on in and around the professional peloton.
Here are some that caught our eye this week, including ones from Thomas De Gendt, Alex Dowsett and Team Ineos.
1. When landslides stop play at the Tour de France…
Guess all that gravel racing training didn’t pay off.

2. Thomas De Gendt and Tim Wellens needed new profile pictures
Duo attack for @Tim_Wellens and me. No tactics. We just wanted to have pics of us alone.

7. NEVER question a cyclist’s leg strength
Very rarely go to public gyms, appreciate I dont look as though I'm a gym regular. BUT I am!!!! And this guy who has just told me 'that will be to heavy' is going to feel like an idiot when he realises this is my warm up set 👊🏼 #girlscan #getmebacktotrackgymasap

9. When your legs have done enough over the last 21 stages
#TheRealTDF starts today.
Oh no wait! Today we roll into Paris!
Took the super comuter to the start as my legs have been pedling enough https://t.co/3ltnDnyqSS— Toms Skujiņš (@Tomashuuns) July 28, 2019
10. This guy just needs to accept it
I went BY a young, fit guy riding hard up Newport Coast…On my way down, he hollers at me "Is that an E-Bike?" hahaha #chicked
