A set of signed prints of both Mark Cavendish and David Millar have auctioned among a stunning range of cycling memorabilia.
 Cavendish was recently appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire for his services to British cycling and was named the Tour de France's best sprinter of all time |
The items sold as part of cycling clothing company Rapha's Bordeaux-Paris 2013 Challenge charity auction, which closed on September 17.
The prints sold for £1,120 ($1,781) on eBay. Proceeds from the sale will benefit the charity Ambitious about Autism, which is close to company founder Simon Mottram's heart as his son suffers with the disability.
The unique prints were donated by renowned portrait photographer Nadav Kandar.
Cavendish proved to be a favourite in the auction, with his signed Omega Pharma Quickstep jersey selling for £972 ($1,545).

The auction also offered a Team Sky replica jersey, which was signed by the whole Sky team. It sold for £797 ($1,267).
