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 Katie Archibald, Phil Gaimon and Matteo Trentin.

5. Cycling sometimes has some skewed priorities
But the most important things are :
-socks lengt
-dsq someone for something that always happend
-no feed from the cars in the 30 km and last 20 of a race
-no race radios in the worlds
– no cutting our 45x45cm numbers
-be on time on team pres that are always late#showmustgoon— Matteo Trentin (@MATTEOTRENTIN) October 5, 2019

8. When you can do both…
Had a media session before training today. Usually I’d take some of my make-up off before I got into track to tone it down a little, but @dinaashersmith made history last week in pink glittery eyeshadow, so it stays 😁
