It’s time for the first of the Vuelta Tweets of the Week for 2022. We’ve had a full week of racing, which was kind of uneventful, kind of exciting, kind of meh, kind of yea! Much like the Twitterstream …

Great to see LouLou back, causing happy chaos in the peloton

I have to agree, Joan.
I am not a fan of the @qst_alphavinyl mustache thing happening right now @gcntweet

Rest days; long, uneventful stages; waiting for the sprint – the things we do on Twitter to keep ourselves amused. Hirschi Kisses for everyone!

Sometimes erotic, sometimes lonely
Herrada, Bennett & Craddock – sounds like a law firm
Interesting way of saying “Jesus Herrada won” 😂😂😂 https://t.co/VZPwMM55bP

This goes from wholesome to erotic fairly quickly https://t.co/xIDPEfogO3

Tell me you were in the gruppetto without telling me you were in the gruppetto. I'll go first…..@lavuelta https://t.co/7VzE1xGQut

No win to speak of, but this was one of the coolest moments in my career. I freaking love the Basque Country ❤️ https://t.co/RF12WfPez1

If there have been some concerns about future of Spanish cycling, here are two names that can be counted on. Juan Ayuso (#174 | 19y 347d) and Carlos Rodriguez (#86 | 21y 208d). Ayuso 2nd and Rodriguez 4th strongest rider – behind Evenepoel – on Les Praeres on Sunday. #LaVuelta22 pic.twitter.com/ThsFDBYD4S

Brad on a bike with balloon animals
We were bored …
In that case I'm going to tune it earlier, don't want to miss the possibility of Bradley Wiggins making balloon animals and handing them out to the peloton from the back of a moto.

Pay per view event. Take my money!

I loved this one
What's a cycling memory that brings you joy?
When I was very small and first learnt to ride, I would inexplicably jump off the saddle into the nearest hedge, much to my mum's disapproval, like some sort of pint sized stunt actor.

The last word
It is the image of the ungraspable phantom of life; and this is the key to it all.
