It’s #TDF2022 and the twitterstream was packed full of cycling goodies. From #RookieRecap to #letourdepoupees, the #couchpeloton is picking up where they left off in the Giro. We also have all the magnificence of Magnus, some shocking chin socks and evidence that Devo were WAY ahead of their time. It’s all here – it’s TOUR TWEETS OF THE WEEK!

The cycling gods giveth and they taketh away
No #RookieRacingRecap today. My voice is as missing as the Danish people were from work on the day #TDF2022 rolled through their town. 😍

A burning question
Do the Scandinavian countries argue among themselves about which country is “most Viking”?

Bernard Hinault votes for himself and wins best French all-time rider award. 'I voted for me and I'm not ashamed to say it. I think that if Anquetil had had to do that, he would have also put himself in first place,' says five-time Tour winner.https://t.co/xQ6LqjhBrm
