As we all know, cyclists and Twitter 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 of the tweets that caught our eye this week, including ones from Ryan Mullen, Bradley Wiggins and Elinor Barker.

5. The Rapha London Nocturne brings Team Wiggins and JLT-Condor head-to-head once again. Whoever wins on the road, Wiggins won this argument. Touché.
3 of our top guys got distracted during that period towing 1 of yours around for 4km to win Olympic gold…. 😉
