Welcome to a brief look through the madness that is cycling's Twitter accounts. We're wittily calling it Best of Twitter, although if you think you're clever, feel free to suggest a name. Only one way to start, with the World Champion riding an unconventional ungulate:
Cheers Peter. The more bookish among you may have noticed (and possibly attended) the release of David Millar's new book, The Racer, and its accompanying signing tour. Slight hitch, David broke his arm in a skateboarding incident. Lucky there were several people on hand (!) to swap a signed page for a signed cast!
Cute baby alert, as Matteo Trentin's young son celebrates his dad's win in the Paris-Tours:
The off season's already started for some. Geraint Thomas gone done got himself married. Congratulations G and Sara!
And finally, to end on a serious note, two time Giro d'Italia winner Ivan Basso announced his retirement, only a couple of weeks after beating testicular cancer. All the best, although we're not sure whether management in the Tinkoff squad or his blueberry farm will prove the more rewarding post-cycling career.
Don't forget to follow us on Twitter, either individually (links on the right) or on TLG's fledgling account, @Laughing_Group.
Good evening
