Team Sky Merry Christmas.PNGStars of the peloton share Christmas online
We hope all our readers had a wonderful Christmas Day whatever you got up to – and here’s some of favourite posts from the past couple of days from some of the stars of the peloton who shared on social media what they got up to.
We’ll start with this one posted on Sunday by former world champion Philippe Gilbert – out for a pre-Christmas ride with his sons, who look pretty handy on the bike.

Christmas Eve and Mark Cavendish – who else could it be behind those Oakleys? – looked like he was heading out for a different kind of ride to his usual one.
Merry Christmas to you all and your loved ones https://t.co/FladqmKfry pic.twitter.com/vQvniNdWMh

We hope everyone followed Alex Dowsett’s advice yesterday.
Merry Christmas everyone, remember, the calories literally don’t count today.

On the big day itself, Peter Sagan reposted this video from his Bora-Hansgrohe team’s recent training camp in Mallorca.

Simon joined road.cc as news editor in 2009 and is now the site’s community editor, acting as a link between the team producing the content and our readers. A law and languages graduate, published translator and former retail analyst, he has reported on issues as diverse as cycling-related court cases, anti-doping investigations, the latest developments in the bike industry and the sport’s biggest races. Now back in London full-time after 15 years living in Oxford and Cambridge, he loves cycling along the Thames but misses having his former riding buddy, Elodie the miniature schnauzer, in the basket in front of him.

Partly it's the fetishization of pro cycling. Let's face it, RedBull don;t sell F1 cars, Ducati don't sell MotoGP bikes, Toyota don't sell WEC...
Hot Fuzz vibe.

Centaur groupset. WDIW?
Usual ugly Pinarello, bumps and curves where they aren't needed. And, according to Mapdec, not well built.

What's a "legitimate cyclist" please? Someone who doesn't conform to your arbitrary norms? At the age of 56 I admit that you have 13 years more...
This risks turning me into a hanger and flogger....
I had the pleasure of owning two of the featured builders here, in my history. When I joined the Army in 1971, I took with me my curly Hetchins:...
