Rooting for Mark Cavendish
Image: © Oliver Dixon Taken: 5 Jul 2014
After a long wait, the Tour de France 2014 is about to arrive in the village of Feetham. One spectator is sporting the "Legs of Man" flag in support of Mark Cavendish, a Manxman. Tragically, Cavendish crashed 200 metres before the finish of the first stage, dislocated his shoulder and had to withdraw, thereby extinguishing one of Britain's white hopes for the Tour.
