Giro Tweets of the Week: Climbing, sprinting, barging … and a cherubic smile

The first full week of the Giro 2018 certainly got the Twittersphere frisky. But it wasn’t all about Italy – we had Dunkirk AND California as well! There were so many good tweets, I’m letting them speak for themselves, quite frankly. Enjoy!

Climbs and then some

Ah, the sweet smell of woodsmoke in the mountains

 

Crash Froome

Isolated. Riding like a man who’s been at the pub too long. Losing time by the truckloads. And having a contretemp with George Bennett. Just the first week of the Giro for Chris ‘£1m appearance fee’ Froome

When it rains, it pours

A menagerie of sprinters

Is he a tiger? A wolf? How many animals will be used to describe Fernando Gaviria this season?

But Fernando wasn’t the only sprinter who was making some noise. Andre Greipel took a solo win at the Four Days of Dunkerque. So great to have him back after his injury …

Ireland went crazy for Sam Bennett‘s Giro stage win last week – front page news!

I say, I say

Cyclists – and fans and pundits – say the darndest things!

The Gruppetto

The Juan and only …

If only they had lined Peter Sagan‘s head in the centre of that neon – it would be like he had a spikey halo 

Cheeky chappy who conquers mountains

The last word
