Tour de France winner Chris Froome missed out in the 2013 BBC Sports Personality of the Year Award on Sunday. Wimbledon tennis champion Andy Murray scooped the main award with a landslide victory as cycling came away empty handed.
Murray won the live vote held during the ceremony held in Leeds, taking well over half of all of the votes cast. Rugby's Leigh Halfpenny placed second with champion jockey AP McCoy in third. Froome placed sixth out of 10 in the final voting.
