Cav’s New Shoes

Here’s a photo from the podium in the Tour of California, courtesy of Steephill.tv.

Whilst Dave Zabriskie gets interviewed, Mark Cavendish is striking a somewhat camp pose. The sprinter is showing off his shoes to Team Type 1’s Dutch rider Thomas Rabou. What’s so special about the shoes? Well look closely and you’ll see they have rubber soles and no cleats. In other words they are replica cyling shoes designed for podium use only. Handy for Cavendish…
