Mark Cavendish: Spoty lifetime award is nice but as a competitor you want to be shortlisted'
Briefly

Oh mate, for the last couple of years I've been broken. I feel it most when I go running. That's when I realize how I've been in the same physical position for the best part of 30 years.
My best friend, Cal Crutchlow, was a MotoGP rider, so he's broken bones everywhere. We're very lucky our joy came from professional sport but the payoff... is the state of our bodies now.
Cavendish will turn 40 next May and his extraordinary career finally ended last month when he won his final race in Singapore... and all the blurring wins mean there are no regrets even when he feels so battered.
Ever since the Spoty shortlist was announced, and Cavendish was left off... there has been an uproar on social media, but Cavendish can't help but talk honestly.
