Tweets of the week: Primož Roglič's acting chops, Quick-Step take on Wordle, plus much more
A collection of tweets that require neither an inquiry nor a Met Police investigation
Laugh until you cry. That's the only way to deal with the dire state of the world today, I reckon.
Twitter is the same. Except tweets are clearly delineated into ones that will make you laugh and ones that will make you cry. Here at Tweets of the Week HQ we are firmly in the business of tweets that will make you laugh.
That and the business of the click economy. That's why we've saved the best tweet from the past seven days until right at the end. Gotta pay the bills somehow!! HAhaha...haha..ha...ha...[uncontrollable sobbing ensues].

3. Personally, I reckon a three hour ride is long enough thank you very much
I have an intense and irrational dislike for 3hr rides, they’re not short, not long, you can blow your doors but also don’t need to eat the house downThey’re like a cross or gravel bike, or a Porsche Panamera, it’s got no idea what it is.January 26, 2022
4. JV hits back with the help of the entire country of Belgium

5. Good tweet. That's all I have to say.

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.
