Double-take: Is that for real, Markie?

So, I was looking at this picture in cyclingnews. The article was about Renshaw picking up where Cavendish left off in the team as a protected rider for the sprint. Then, I enlarged the picture using the wonderful feature of my android tablet by simply spreading my fingers...

That's when I noticed the warm and fuzzy gesture that Cavendish was making towards the person who took the picture, I can only presume.

Perhaps, like Sir Bradley Wiggins, he's all class and is just a misunderstood c**t.

Just to clarify...I wasn't expecting Saint Cavendish to wear a robe...:p

I have made similar gesture often, both past and present, all done out of love, of course.

The only reason I posted this is I thought it was funny that the photo caption and the story didn't quite match up with picture (maybe they did :p) and it took me by surprise. That was it.

Context is needed - was the photographer a friend, a wanker standing in the street, called him a name, etc.

No, he's no saint. But a talented guy who has had some humbling experiences the past few years.

YEah that is funny, looks like they missed that one lol.

But in Britain flipping the bird is two fingers. I know this because after moving to the US 16 years ago it took some time during bouts of road rage to flip just one finger instead of two (joking).

I wish he'd followed Kittel's wheel instead of trying to take out Gerrans. The sprint finishes would be a lot more entertaining this year.
