Tweets of the week: Rohan Dennis, Geraint Thomas and Sam Bennett
Ten good tweets arranged in a listicle format. You're welcome
RACING. IS. BACK. The Women's Tour Down Under is happening right now and the men's edition begins in four days.
Ah, racing is back. Breathe it in. Deeply. Relax, the return of the WorldTour means winter is on its way out and then summer will be here. Soon the Classics will be upon us and then we have three Grand Tours to enjoy. Before long it will all be over again and we'll have another dark winter lacking televised pedaling.
So this season let's resolve to enjoy every single minute of it. No turning on stage three of Tirreno-Adriatico for just the final 10km. If you've already messed up your New Year's resolutions here's a mulligan.
To get you in the mood, here are this week's best tweets organised in a listicle format for your personal viewing pleasure. You're welcome.

7. I'm not crying, you're crying
8. A sign of true togetherness is when you go out of your way to cancel your team-mate on Twitter
9. Look closely at Egan Bernal in the bottom left of the photo. He's probably just borrowing Jonathan Castroviejo's phone but we prefer to imagine he's just a massive fan of the Spaniard and bought a phone case with his name on it.
10. Catch Brian Cookson's weekly column where he reviews the latest TV releases only in the Radio Times
We’ll be back next week with more from the wonderful world of cycling social media.

Jonny was Cycling Weekly's Weekend Editor until 2022.
I like writing offbeat features and eating too much bread when working out on the road at bike races.
Before joining Cycling Weekly I worked at The Tab and I've also written for Vice, Time Out, and worked freelance for The Telegraph (I know, but I needed the money at the time so let me live).
I also worked for ITV Cycling between 2011-2018 on their Tour de France and Vuelta a España coverage. Sometimes I'd be helping the producers make the programme and other times I'd be getting the lunches. Just in case you were wondering - Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwen had the same ham sandwich every day, it was great.

Tech of the week: Van Rysel releases an aero bike (quelle surprise!) plus a superlight carbon crankset from FSA, a long top tube bag from Tailfin and tyre liners from Zefal
The RCR-F aero bike will be ridden by the Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale team in 2025, but will it create headlines like the RCR?
