Tweets of the week: Tadej Pogačar's football skills and Thomas De Gendt explores human anatomy
Yep, you guessed, it more tweets
You know the saying, made famous by the US Office's Andy Bernard: "I wish there was a way to know you were in the good old days before you actually left them." Well, there's a way to know when you're not in the good old days, and that's whenever you open up Twitter dot com.
That is, unless, you find inside Tadej Pogačar doing an improbable number of composed keepie-uppies with a football, or Thomas De Gendt noticing that what links the locations of this year's Paris-Nice route is human genitalia. Yes, you read the end of that sentence right.
1. Thomas De Gendt: 'Philippe, have a look at the tweet I just sent out'

4. This brings back horrific memories of when I was at a race and trying to get the attention of the Jumbo-Visma soigneur and was shouting 'Jumbo!' and Coryn Rivera politely told me the soigneur was unlikely to respond to 'Jumbo'...
Had an old Dutch man pass me on a scooter during a training ride and yell “ @WoutvanAert !” 🤣 Well, #HappyInternationalWomensDay 🤦♀️ @JumboVismaWomenMarch 9, 2022
5. Good to see he's still got a sense of humour despite all the awfulness of the past couple of months

6. Someone in the replies has pointed out Ganna's scales cost €460 and I'm not quite sure what to do with this information
