Manx cycling star Mark Cavendish says he expects a slow start to 2012, and he wouldn't have it any other way.
After winning the world road race title last month, the worst kept secret in cycling was confirmed last week when Cav announced which team he will be riding for next season.
He hopes working with Team Sky will take him, and rest of the squad, to another level:
FC Isle of Man searching for elusive home win against Pilkington
Both sides played out goalless draw earlier this season
Hockey: Two leagues split for crucial stage of mixed season
Plenty still up for grabs going into final weeks of the campaign
Rugby: Douglas face big clash against Vale of Lune
Vagabonds and Ramsey back on the road again
Football: Defending prem champions Peel on the road in western clash
Top two in Division 2 return to action this weekend
