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 Alex Dowsett, Deceuninck – Quick-Step and Nathan Haas.
1. A heartfelt message of support from Lewis Capaldi

3. Matt Winston knows his audience
Sent @JamieHaughey my preview quote for Tour of Denmark using S Club 7 song titles…..he worked it out straight away! Not bad seeing as he was 7 when they were famous! Boy has got more cheese than Cathedral City #sclubparty

4. A partisan bee tried to interrupt Hayley Simmonds’ Euro TT
Relatively happy with my ride in Euros ITT. Honestly I hoped for a few places higher but not the smoothest of mornings being stung by a bee 3km in (I’m allergic). Stinger pulled out at the finish, let’s see how big my arm is tomorrow! Thanks @BritishCycling for the opportunity! pic.twitter.com/CgVMviRIm8

6. When the flag drops on your head
7. The Arctic Tour of Norway has a very set menu
Public announcement 🚨
Lunch in Norway 🇳🇴 was in fact not salmon, I repeat, not salmon!
I’m still in shock— Nathan Haas (@NathanPeterHaas) August 14, 2019
8. Altitude problems
Back at altitude after 6weeks away, fully declimatised, I know this because I’ve had to have a little sit down after lugging 2 bikes and 2 suitcases up the stairs
