The best social media posts from around cycling this week
As we all know, cyclists and social media is 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 Katie Archibald, Thomas De Gendt and Conor Dunne.
1. That moment when you’ve rented one too many hire cars
Correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems that it doesn’t matter what specific rental car you order, what you’ll get whether you like it or not is some variation of a fiat 500

2. Advice every young cyclist needs to take on board
Getting 2 that time of year when @DaveRaynerFund and @emeraldfund boys & girls head abroad for the year. Here is a throwback from when myself & @Marcuschristie7 did the same. If I could give one piece of advice… Always make sure you have a fire extinguisher nearby 😂 #goodluck pic.twitter.com/Zfel6eMXu2

4. Hmm we’ll have to keep an eye out for this Philippe Gilbert fella
Apparently this Gilbert kid has won a few bike races already, so can't say I'm too sad about getting 2nd. Brilliant work from the @TrekSegafredo guys with the MVP award going to @moschettiteo. Dude doesn't know sprinters aren't supposed to be ripping breakaways on hilly days

8. Don’t hate the player, hate the game
It’s getting a bit boring with @Tim_Wellens always winning on the same places.
