Tweets of the week: Geraint Thomas, Phil Gaimon, Tao Geoghegan Hart and more
I know you're going to dig this
Another week, another set of tweets. Rather than rolling around in the sewer that is Twitter, every week we endeavour to sort through the dumpster fire and pull out the smouldering diamonds in the rough.
Twitter's market valuation is around £50 billion, and seeing as this article is basically Twitter with all the bad bits missing...well, how can you really put a price on that.
If anyone needs me, I'll be in my limo. Stationary on the driveway because it's a lockdown and jail wouldn't suit someone who evaluates tweets for a living.

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.
