July is over. We will have to wait for another year for the Tour de France and Tour de France Femmes again. 

But fret not - tweets of the week is here.

We're here to cheer you up and improve your spirits with some of the best offerings of Twitter-related content witnessed on the platform over the past week.

9. Some creative 'upcycling' here. Ha, get it?! Yeah, we'll see ourselves out

10. We dread to imagine just how bad that thing must have smelt after a month on the road...

12. Honestly, at this rate, it's just good practice to announce that Formula 1 reserve driver Oscar Piastri hasn't signed for your team - regardless if it's the wrong sport

13. Primož Roglič returns to the bike. Maybe we'll see him at the Vuelta a España after all
