Tweets of the week: Geraint Thomas, Big Jet TV, Chris Froome, plus much more
The latest instalment of funny tweets you've no doubt already seen
And just like that racing is back. Immediately from the slumbering abyss of the off-season to more races than you can keep up with.
You know what doesn't switch on you like that? Tweets of the week. The comforting stability of 10 tweets a week, the likes of Geraint Thomas, Chris Froome and Alex Dowsett the usual suspects in propping the series up, week in, week out.
Regardless of whether they're racing 200km that day or not, you can always count on G to make fun of his crashing tendencies.

Hi. I'm Cycling Weekly's Weekend Editor. I like writing offbeat features and eating too much bread when working out on the road at bike races.
Before joining Cycling Weekly I worked at The Tab and I've also written for Vice, Time Out, and worked freelance for The Telegraph (I know, but I needed the money at the time so let me live).
I also worked for ITV Cycling between 2011-2018 on their Tour de France and Vuelta a España coverage. Sometimes I'd be helping the producers make the programme and other times I'd be getting the lunches. Just in case you were wondering - Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwen had the same ham sandwich every day, it was great.
