It’s been a busy week in the cycling world, with racing finally returning after a five-month lay-off.
The virtual Tour de France concluded over the last seven days, while the Olympics were also due to start this week before they were postponed due to coronavirus.
With all this going on in the cycling world, there has been plenty for the pros to talk about on cycling social media.
We’re been diligently scouring Twitter and Instagram to bring you another round-up of the best from the last week.
Check out our tweets of the week below:

7. The age old battle between rider and pedal
Right; clipping out is getting more instinctive. Clipping in first time remains hit and miss. I've become a cycling bore.
