congratulations to mark cavendish on winning last nights bbc sports personality of the year award, it really did cap a stunning year for the manxman following his stage victories in the giro d'italia and tour de france plus the green jersey in the tour and the world championship win in copenhagen.   cavendish finished ahead of golfer darren clarke who was second and world 5,000m champion mo farah who came third.

He did ramble on a bit though through his acceptance speech, I reckon he didn't imagine he'd win!!! Good for cycling though and he has put in an amazing effort.
