What is often out of view in those professional race photos are the rider's pedals. If you are curious about the kind of pedal Zabriskie uses or Cancellara, or what holds Cavendish steady during his sprints, the answer is far more simple than you might imagine - they use the same pedal as their teammates. Most teams have a pedal sponsor just as they have a bike sponsor.

Wiggins has recovered from the knee injury that put him out of the Giro, and although he initially hoped to race the Tour de France, the condition required a visit to a specialist who advised him to take two weeks off his bike, ruling him out of the Tour. He is now in the second week of a six-week block of training and expects to return to racing at the Tour of Poland on 27 July. That will be followed by an event in Colorado, where he may also take in an altitude training camp, before the Tour of Britain from 15-22 September.
