Tweets of the week: Chris Froome compromised, Thomas De Gendt on the beers, and more
What better way to spend your finite time on this Earth than burning your retinas out with the utter drivel found within the dumpster fire of Twitter dot com?
If you were in any doubt as to whether the off-season had started yet, you just need to cast your eye over social media to see Nathan Haas and Alison Jackson dancing and Chris Froome trapped in an assortment of ropes that we hope is acceptable for a pre-watershed audience.
Oh, and Thomas De Gendt is spending his time drinking every single one of the beers.
1. Yep, it's the off-season alright
