Would she though? I think that’s kind of the point, that she’s up against someone like KJT who is the current World Champion in her sport, or Alfie Hewitt who is in a niche sport sure, but has won four grand slams this year and outstanding in his sport.

He would deserve it but Froome not winning it doesn't mean Cavendish shouldn’t have won it. He's had an immense career in Cycling and as said, won the World Championships and Green jersey in the tour when he did. He was a very worthy winner.
