Tweets of the week: Paris-Roubaix, Bradley Wiggins and RIP the supertuck
There is something for everyone in this Easter weekend serving of online musings
Robots delivering medals on podiums, soigneurs gifting souvenirs to kids at the roadside, a Movistar rider playing a haunting melody on a piano, Mark Cavendish making topical memes about global news events, Bradley Wiggins' doppelgänger showing up in Les Miserables.
Honestly, if you don't find anything you like in this latest edition of Tweets of the Week, maybe it's just not for you.
1. The pro cycling remake of iRobot is looking great tbh
2. My heart is very full at this moment
3. And now we turn to Iñigo Elosegui's mournful interlude aptly titled: "Movistar have only won two races since the start of 2020"
4. Mark Cavendish: Fast sprinter, faster meme-er.
5. An important scientific discovery - the sun shining in Belgium

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.
