Tweets of the week: Tao Geoghegan Hart, Ellen Noble, Ian Bibby and more
The best social media posts from across the cycling world this week
People often say the key difference between amateur cyclists and pros is the amount of recovery time the latter group gets.

4. Has anyone checked on López recently?

6. Hulk mode: activated
7. Yes, because all Coloradans wear Rapha Souplesse and cycling shoes whilst going about general farming duties
8. Who needs sleep when you've got supplements?
9. Sure he's next door, and not sleeping under the bed?
10. I'm not sure 9586 kilometres is what coaches mean when they suggest a "long and steady" recovery ride..
We’ll be back in seven days’ time for more of the best from social media across the cycling world.
