Best of Twitter: 1 November

No decades-old 'live' tweeting this week, but fortunately we've had Hallowe'en to keep us occupied on the Twitter front. So, in at the deep (and pseudo-scary) end we go! BONUS: Cav (the tall zombie) saw someone who'd been sticking their head in the ball shiner later that evening. Everyone knows that one person who makes little or no Hallowe'en effort, right? The guy that just goes out and buys a cheap mask at the last minute. In the cycling world, his name is Ivan Basso. All Hallow's Eve wasn't the only special occasion this week. Sagan Day was celebrated on the 29th and 30th (don't ask, he's World Champion, he can bend rules like time and logic). The days consisted mainly of him watching his new jerseys being made and watching Vittorio Brumotti pull wheelies indoors, because Vittorio Brumotti. If you already follow Eurosport's cycling commentator, Carlton Kirby, chances are you're familiar with #cgf, or Crap Gag Friday. Pretty self-explanatory name, but if that sounds like your bag, here's a sample of what you're missing out on. Now for an image you may never get out of your head. The idea of Jens Voigt doing the Gangnam Style dance. Last but certainly not least, as far as I'm concerned anyway, Geraint Thomas has been publicising his new book with a signing tour of the country, and I was fortunate enough to be able to make it down to Waterstones in Manchester to meet him in person. Expect a review this week once I've finished reading it. Apologies for that last self-congratulatory addition. Do let us know if you queued for a scribble from G though, or if you spotted anything good that we may have missed. See you soon!
