Tweets of the week: The Death Race, goats an ALL the cake

Be honest, you clicked on this for the cake didn't you? Cyclists have an almost pathological connection to cake.

It’s the fuel of choice for weekend warriors across the world and many are the hours that can be spent debating the best choice for either fuel economy, wallet saving or taste.

Even the more serious riders amongst us will have a view because even if you’re trying to keep to a healthy balanced nutritious diet then that means when you do indulge it has got to be worth it.

Unless you’re track sprinting dynamo Harrie Lavreysen, it seems, as then you can have all the cake (one day of the year at least) with no need to choose.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I'm off to the local bakers.

9. A heart warming story in two parts.

10. Car down! Wait, what?!
