Six-time Olympic gold medal winning cyclist Sir Chris Hoy provided Twitter with a podium-worthy effort in savagery yesterday, after somebody asked him how they could follow in his footsteps and have a train named after them.

Alongside a picture of the 'Sir Chris Hoy' train, Adam Tranter tweeted at the 41-year-old cyclist: "Hi Chris, when I grow up I'd like to have a train named after me too. Any tips? (Can't involve cycling fast)."

Let's face it, that's probably the lamest tweet to the Twittersphere since a dick pic appeared in Ian Botham's Twitter feed, before the former England cricketer claimed he was hacked.

This is how Sir Chris Hoy responded to Tranter:

As you can imagine Twitter was loving it:


Gimme a B.

Gimme an A.

Gimme an N.

Gimme a T.

Gimme an E.

Gimme a R.

What does it spell?
