Tweets of the week: Tao Geoghegan Hart, Geraint Thomas, Luke Rowe and more
Come get these tweets while they're hot
As we approach the shortest day of the year, you know what will keep our collective spirits up?
Nope, not the warm embrace of a loved one, or the companionship of friends and family, but the drip, drip, drip of serotonin from doom-scrolling on Twitter until the sun has well and truly set, which at the moment is around just after you finish lunch.
In case you missed any tweets as your eyes glazed over due to the endless infinity of the internet, here's a round-up of the best bits from this week.
No, no, don't thank me, no need for statues or medals, I'm simply just doing my job.
1. Even though the Telegraph couldn't get Geoghegan Hart's name right, glad to see they absolutely nailed the pronunciation of 'Paris'
2. 2000CHF fine to Luke Rowe for being gross

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.
