Tweets of the week: Design a world champion's jersey, 'super' bingo, and Primož Roglič looks cold

All the social media posts from the world of cycling you need to see, I suppose

Ever caused such consternation on social media with a press release that you've quickly had to release a second press release clarifying what the first one said? No? Well, cycling's governing body the UCI got caught in exactly this bind on Thursday.

Innocently enough, it launched a competition for fans to design "the UCI World Champion rainbow jersey of the future", with all invited to "unleash their creativity" as long as they maintain the five colours (blue, red, black, yellow, and green) in the current order. You can do it in person at the Road World Championships in Zürich, or online. It's a bit of fun!

Disaster avoided, then, but it did allow for some funny tweets. Your author will certainly be entering the competition, when he gets to Zürich...

1. Archie Atkinson might be the first ever person to rock a suit and Oakleys at Downing Street, and brown shoes too? It's bold

2. Phil Gaimon here, with a guide on what not to do to female cyclists - he's joking, but many aren't! Don't do this!

3. Primož, honestly, put on a jumper man - a ski jumper! geddit?

4. If this is a struggle for Kasia Niewiadoma, imagine how much of this I would have to walk. Also, when does gravel become mountain biking, really?

5. We had a super good time watching these clips

6. Look, I'm sure Puck is doing her influencing well here but I'm pretty sure most indoor bikes are put together this artfully

7. How long do you think the queue was for these photos? Great vibes all round, though

8. whispers I don't think this is that exciting-looking a bike. It's just a white bike, right? Shhhhhhh

9. No, you haven't woken up in an alternate dimension where Mathieu van der Poel rides for Lidl-Trek, this is the leader's jersey at the Tour of Luxembourg, naturally

10. Sadly, I don't think this wheel change is going to be as fast as one on a bike...

11. Keep trying Toms, eternal contracts for everyone!

12. Onto the rainbow jersey content - our own Dr Hutch makes a compelling point here, I think

13. Is it time for a more inclusive rainbow jersey?

14. Or perhaps a more revealing one? Thanks Dan Lloyd

15. Agreed, first prize. Way to go, Homer

16. Oh yes, in our new AI future everything will be perfect

17. And, finally, who could resist one more Simpsons meme. Just leave it as it is (unless I win the competiton)
