Cav is red hot favourite for BBC award

Tuesday, 20 December 2011 18:35

The odds against Manx cycling superstar Mark Cavendish winning the BBC Sports Personality of the Year award have been slashed again by bookmakers.

Ladbrokes say he is now the 4/11 on favourite to take the coveted prize, with his closest rival, golfer Darren Clarke, drifting out to 5/1.

The winner of the annual award will be announced at the end of a live show on Thursday evening.

The outcome is decided by a public telephone vote and number to dial to support the 'Manx Missile' will be given out at the start of the programme.
