Vote Mark Cavendish Sports Personality of the Year
We made Mark Cavendish our Man of the Year mostly because of his results in 2010 but also because he has personality. And as Samuel L Jackson’s character Jules Winnfield said in Pulp Fiction, “personality goes a long way.”

The season’s most successful neo-pro, Tasmanian Richie Porte talks about winning the young rider’s jersey at the Giro d’Italia, Ryder Hesjedal talks about his seventh place finish at the Tour, and we go backstage at Cervelo TestTeam’s last ever race, the Tour of Lombardy.
