Tweets of the week: Peter Sagan, Alex Dowsett, Chris Froome, plus much more
More tweets than you could ever possibly need, and even two about urinating!!
Life is like a box of tweets, you never know which one you're going to get. Although, you can almost guarantee there will be a tweet from Chris Froome of a selfie amidst a picturesque backdrop.
Other times, like this week for example, there are tweets about urinating. Two of them, in fact. Hopefully this is an anomaly, a blot on our otherwise unsulled reputation here at Tweets of the Week Inc. Only time will tell!

Jonny was Cycling Weekly's Weekend Editor until 2022.
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.
