Geraint Thomas said he wanted to “help a brother out” after seeing Mark Cavendish light on team-mates in the closing stages of stage 21 at the Giro d’Italia.

"He's so special, 25 years, he's been one of my best friends you know," Cavendish said after the pair had shared an emotional embrace at the finish.

"More than a bike rider he's a good person, a good friend, a good team-mate, the most loyal guy you could get. That was pretty special."

Cavendish has delayed plans to retire after his Tour de France was ended by a crash in which he sustained a broken collarbone - and he will race in next year's race, where he will again aim to break the record of 34 Tour stage wins.

Manchester City became only the second ever English team to complete the Treble in 2023.

Pep Guardiola's side won the Champions League for the first time in the club's history after they defeated Inter Milan 1-0, adding to their Premier League and FA Cup triumphs.

Sir Alex Ferguson's Manchester United, in 1999, had stood as the only other English side to achieve that trophy haul.

Here's a reminder of all your winners at SPOTY 2022:

• Sports Personality of the Year: Beth Mead
• Helen Rollason Award: Rob Burrow
• Coach of the Year: Sarina Wiegman
• Team of the Year: England Women
• Young Sports Personality of the Year: Jessica Gadirova
• Lifetime Achievement: Usain Bolt

British world champion gymnast Jessica Gadirova was named BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year in 2022, after the 18-year-old became just the fifth individual British world champion by winning floor gold.

Among three World Championship medals, she also became the first British woman to win a world all-around medal.

Snowboarder Mia Brookes, archer Penny Healey and wheelchair basketballer Charlie McIntyre have been shortlisted for the BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year award.

A panel selected 10 outstanding young people from a longlist before narrowing that down to a top three.

Brookes became the youngest world champion in snowboarding history when she won slopestyle gold in February, little more than a month after turning 16.

Healey, 18, won double gold at the European Games and achieved the world number one ranking.

McIntyre, 18, led Great Britain's under-22 team to victory at the Home Nations Championship and he was also named in the EuroCup All-Star 5 team after helping London Titans win the Premier Division title.

The winner will be announced during the live show. To find out more, head over here.

Britain's Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid enjoyed another hugely successful year, winning the Australian Open, French Open and Wimbledon men's wheelchair doubles titles together before reaching the last four at the US Open.

The pair also faced each other in the final of the US Open singles event, where Hewett claimed his second Grand Slam singles title of 2023 on his way to ending the season as world number one.

That was Hewett's eighth major singles title - and fourth at Flushing Meadows - while he and Reid now have 18 doubles titles together.
