It was the first weekend of the Spring Classics – oh, we were afroth with excitement at VeloVoices Towers. And all along our Twitter timeline, the fans came out with Wout dolls, Wout films, Wout love … but that’s not all. Tiesj and Taco admiration. Ridiculous predictions for the year based on … not a lot! Fabio fabness! And much much more! Often imitated but never surpassed … it’s TWEETS OF THE WEEK!
The season is about to start with the Tour Down Under but first there was the Australian #BatChamps as well as some CX action. We also check in with some riders as to how they are preparing for the 2020 season. And Boonen in a bath of beans! plus BREAKING NEWS …
Bastille Day. The sun shone. The crowds came out to fete both a Frenchman in the mailllot jaune and a stage finish in Romain Bardet‘s home town! A classy break went up the road to play for the win, and Daryl Impey kept his head to beat Tiesj Benoot (Lotto-Soudal) in a two up sprint to claim his maiden Tour de France victoire – the first for Mitchelton-Scott in three years. There was no change on the overall as the GC guys rolled along thoroughly enjoying a lull in proceedings.
