Isle of Man cyclist Mark Cavendish has received more backing in the betting markets to win the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Award.
The Manx Missile is now fifth favourite from the short list of ten moving ahead of England cricket captain Andrew Strauss.
His odds for an outright win have shortened to 18 to 1 from 80 to 1 when the nominations were announced a week ago.
The winner will be decided by viewer votes during a live show from the Sheffield Arena this coming Sunday evening.
