The best social media posts from across the cycling world this week
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, Dan Martin and Amanda Spratt.
1. Rocky training montage?
2. How many riders have missed the Tour of Flanders start over this?
Half 10 in English means 10:30… in Flemish in means 9:30 because half of 10 is 9:30. What the heck Belgium. 🤯🤯
