    It's definitely Sean Kelly.

    Is there an express use of the terms "bonification" and "classment" in the tweets?

    Seems like the right thread to post: 'nother Richard Moore retweet has drawn attention to another potentially fun parody account, which will be a challenge to get past the filters here, let's try @FcukingWiggins - assume you know which letters to move round.
    Profane and pretty funny on first perusal - worth a cheeky follow, innit?

    Example from RM retweet:
    "Hope Cav enjoyed my lead out from 2.8km
    You're fcuking welcome"

    @ukcyclingexpert: Usually at this point in the Giro the organisers invite the Italian police to the team hotels to meet the riders. It's a Giro tradition! :D

    For me, he/she is tweeting far too often and what could could be funny is just clogging up my timeline. Less is more etc etc

    Talking of @FcukingWiggins - here is his latest offering :lol:

    @FcukingWiggins: Today's stage. It has the profile of the sound wave a make when people ask me about Froome. *snore*


    and the Bio: Don't fcuking start with me you anonymous cnuts.

    :lol: Childish, but I love it.

    In my head, I like to believe that @FckuingWiggins is being posted by Froome, and the (less active, less funny) @FckukingFroome account is Wiggins, and neither of them realises is. I just love the idea of them both simultaneously sitting in their hotel rooms, tweeting and giggling to themselves, "Ha, if only he knew!"

    I reckon ukcyclingexpert is Inner Ring as I noticed in my timeline yesterday a lot of the cycling expert tweets were Partridge style versions of Inner Ring unless they are just taking inspiration from genuine cycling tweets.

    It's just inspiration. They also use the TeamSky tweets in a similar way (and no doubt others I don't follow)

    Ghosted by a good comedy writer with a very high hit-rate. Yesterday was outstanding. Given the short shelf-life, evanescence is better than rationing 'the good stuff', then disappear until the tour. I suspect they have a rich seam to mine when the Sky Train hits the high mountains.

    Could be worse. Spare a thought for the Aussies! Jack Bobridge is last on GC (Giro Contest), 1hr 24 behind already. Bodes well for Rio

    Apparently Sir Bradley is working on his fear of water today with his swimming teacher, Nick Kerrison, at the Team Sky hotel pool #giro

    This one was great

    Cycling might not be as big in Belgium as it is in the UK, but surely everyone knows that Sir Bradley is the greatest cyclist of all time!

    Some funny ones occasionally but tweets too freaking much.

    Anyway, UK cycling expert is funny but much better was a couple of days ago when a BR forumite teased Paralympian @TTworldchampion about shaving his legs and wearing compression hosiery, and got the response:
    I don't shave my legs. Carbon, innit?
    I have a policy of only posting comment on the internet under my real name. This is to moderate my natural instinct to flame your fatuous, ill-informed, irrational, credulous, bigoted, semi-literate opinions to carbon, you knuckle-dragging f***wits.

    Trivia! Sean Sutton rode the 1987 Tour de France for a team sponsored by the African National Congress and Halfords! An unlikely coalition!!

    @ukcyclingexpert ANC was a parcel company or am I missing the joke!?

    Austin B ‏@ajb1072 9h
    @ukcyclingexpert Winnie Mandela was the DS that year too

    Iain Keys ‏@IainKeys 8h

    Giro Jury rules Sir Bradley CANNOT take 2nd rest day today. Would they say no to Vincent Nibali? No rest days for him at Tour of Britain!!

    Would be naive to think doping didn't use to exist, but it was surely eradicated with the arrival of Team Sky & the doping passport!

    UK Cycling Expert UK Cycling Expert ‏@ukcyclingexpert 18m
    The cyclists now have to get their passport stamped by customs on the way to every race. This proves they're not doping!

    UK Cycling Expert ‏@ukcyclingexpert 13m
    They also have to text their 'whereabouts' to an office in Switzerland. If they say they're near a chemist, that's immediately suspicious!

    I was thinking Ned Boulting. He's a footie journo, who's been getting to grips with cycling for a while now.

    Also, Nibali will be aware there are NO OFFICIAL FEEDING STATIONS on the course. There are, though, two petrol stations and a newsagent.

    I love this one!

    Who's this Ned Boulting you speak of? :lol:
