To begin with, I’d like to begin this version of Tweets of the Week with an apology.
Avid fans of the sequence, and fellow social media addicts, could have spotted that we did not submit our same old round-up ultimate week. This, after all, hugely undermines the ‘of the week’ a part of the headline, and for that I’m sorry.
Till then, and by the use of apology, here’s a bumper version of the most efficient posts from the ultimate two weeks.
Like 100 Climbs creator Simon Warren, who mourned Eurosport’s loss with an image of a headstone, I, too, will omit the channel – and now not most effective as it’s going to make reside biking greater than 300% more expensive to observe.
No, consider it or now not, I’m going to omit the snow sports activities. I used to whinge to my buddies that biking – the most efficient recreation on the earth – shared a TV channel with curling and ski leaping. However through the years, I started to welcome the frost.

Regularly, I’d music in quarter-hour early to the biking protection, simply to catch a glimpse of the white glow. A contest in Planica? Don’t thoughts it I do. How about some slalom snowboarding? Completely. Biathlon, you assert? Rely me in.
I believe those sports activities will even migrate to TNT, but it surely gained’t be the similar when the programming is diluted with rugby, soccer and boxing. Make biking area of interest once more, I say – if you’ll be able to excuse the Trumpian flip of word
In other places on social media, Marianne Vos will get a post-race hose-down, Egan Bernal surprises some Colombian pubgoers, and Lachlan Morton sits on a throne of oat milk.
1. RIP Eurosport UK, you and your superb snow sports activities will probably be overlooked
2. “You’ve got to believe me, I was just sat there enjoying my beer, and Egan Bernal clip clopped in. I swear it’s true!”
3. At cyclo-cross races, motorcycles and people are handled as equals, so it is jet washers all around
4. Lachlan Morton’s new throne places the OAT in GOAT
5. The biking season does not start till now we have noticed helicopter pictures of kangaroos on the Excursion Down Beneath
6. Have you ever ever noticed the rest extra Australian than Luke Plapp’s footwear?
7. At the matter of trainers, I consider the highest left is known as a ‘shoey’
8. I will be able to’t inform if this seems to be extra like a child ingesting milk, or a uni pupil necking pictures. Both means, it is not probably the most flattering perspective of Tim Merlier

9. I provide to you an 18-year-old Geraint Thomas
10. Who recalls the scooter man from Opening Weekend ultimate yr? Neatly he is again, and now he is rightfully the poster famous person

11. Some say probably the most aero skinsuit you’ll be able to put on is the only you have been born in. Valtteri Bottas without a doubt consents
12. And in spite of everything, I will depart you with an existential conundrum that is been torturing me. Be aware right here that Lucas Hamilton says his favorite meals is “spag bog”. It is indubitably ‘bol’, proper? Or have I been announcing it mistaken these kind of years?
