Surely the winner should have a ‘personality’ in the 1st place?

That would rule Lewis Hamilton out. He’s one of the few people that make Nigel Mansell appear bubbly and effervescent.

That is quite wrong and apears to demonstrate prejudice, rather an accurate opinion. You would have to go some to be behind Mansell!

No Mark Cavendish? 4 stage wins in this years Tour de France.

Maybe 4 cyclists in the top ten was enough, got to be Chris Hoy for my vote

The cycling vote seems to be split between 4 which seems daft.

And I agree that the term 'personality' is wrong. Sportsman is more appropriate.

LH will probably win but its a shame the Olympians who only come to public view every 4 years will miss out.

No, it's personality as in:
a famous, notable, or prominent person; celebrity.

Not personality as in:
the visible aspect of one's character as it impresses others

My vote would go to Chris Hoy, Murray has had a great year but he won't win this until he wins Wimbledon.

I suspect if Cav/Brad had won Gold @ the Olympics he would have been....

Chris Hoy gets my vote....

IN all fairness it has to go to Chris Hoy.

Watching all the Olympic cycling was superb viewing and Hoy was outstanding.

I'd like Hoy to win. I went to Revolution 22 at the Manchester Velodrome last weekend and the reception Hoy got (his first races since the Olympics) was fantastic. Top night of racing if anyone is tempted to go.

I had to google Chris Hoy to find out who he is.

As you can see, I'm a huge fan of the O limp kicks.

I never knew there were so many bicyclists on SN. Who'd have thought...

Well it is an opinion poll. My opinion doesn't fit in with the narrow options on offer.

Then why bother posting on it?

The options on offer are those nominated for the spoty award, it's not a poll about "do you like sports?"

I guess the general public will vote for Lewis as, lets face it, he's more of a household name than Chris Hoy and if somebody posts on this site claiming to not have heard of him, well, I find that staggering but proof in itself.

Yes, Hamilton will probably win it, even though he doesn't deserve to win it and i won't watch the program for the very same reason.
Another British farce of a program.
