I knew a pro-rider that has a pet rabbit.

Didn't the FroomeDawg feed rabbits to his pet python, or have I made that up?

I tried googling it, but the only hits were to this site!
There's a reference to the story here
https://www.rouleur.cc/blogs/the-rouleur-journal/richie-porte-on-froome-and-snakes-in-the-grass
“He wanted to put it in a bag and bring it home… he’d had snakes as a kid, it looked like he knew what he was doing.
You can tell it's the silly season!
Hang on, here it is!

As a boy, Chris Froome had two unusual pets: a pair of pythons. They needed feeding, and their meals had to be alive. Mice at first, then rats. But as they grew they needed something more filling. So he raided the rabbit hutches in the kindergarten across the road.
“Young children would arrive at the class next day and their little baby bunny rabbits would be gone,” he wrote in last year’s autobiography, The Climb. The rabbits would squeal as the snakes tucked in, he recalled. “I felt like intervening and stopping it. But the pythons had to be fed and it was my responsibility.”

The most exciting news I found today was that Sport Vlaanderen-Baloise has decided not to change its kit for 2021.
