Who won Sports Personality of the Year 2018?
Cycling star Geraint Thomas picked up the prize last year following his incredible victory in the Tour de France.
"I really should have thought about what I was going to say," Thomas said upon collecting the award.
"I feel very lucky to have come into cycling when I did. I just went down to the local leisure centre for a swim and instead I rode my bike.
"As a bike rider, I always focus on myself. Obviously people want me to win, but hearing stories like Tyson [Fury]'s and Billy [Monger]'s, you realise that what we do does inspire people back home.
"To see people on their bikes and enjoying it, you take just as much pride from that as winning something like this."
