8. Alex Dowsett shows you're never too professional to give up with a puncture
Sat on the roadside on a big tt session day having done 1 of 4 efforts, with a flat rear tyre and a spare tube with a valve not quite long enough. Waiting for my dad for an emergency call out.After all these years, still deep down an amateur bike rider masquerading as a pro. pic.twitter.com/383aYe3G0ISeptember 16, 2021
9. Egan Bernal bringing the banter to Luke Rowe
