Didn't the rest of the riders make a protest about his dangerous riding or something?
Also classily dumped his pre-fame girlfriend for an ex-Miss Italy after dedicating his autobiography to the former.
Pretty sure he's an absolute ****, tbh.

How dare you talk about the girl I love like that. Shocking that Daley got in there and Tancock didn't. Clear Cornish bias.

golf vote will be split, I actually think McDowell is the more deserving winner, won Britains first major this millenia, and holed the winning putt in the Ryder Cup.
Actually do think Ennis would be a decent shout. Or better then many listed there.

With all due respect, do you actually know anything about road cycling or are you just basing your assumptions on what sound like tabloid stories?

If The Guardian qualifies as a tabloid.

Well it's still a tabloid style story, regardless of what paper it's actually printed in.
Look, I'm not trying to say that he's an angel, not by any stretch, but I think it's exceedingly harsh to label him an absolute ****.
After every single race he wins (which ends up being a lot), he dedicates it to the team without fail, gives his opinion without having to resort to tired cliches and comes across as a decent bloke.
Sure, he can act like a **** in the heat of the moment on occasions, but the good stuff that he does, such as the charity work, far outweighs that in my opinion. Feel free to disagree of course, but it would perhaps be wise to look beyond whatever headlines there are.

Delighted AP won it.
Heartbreaking seeing Seve though, he looked blind during his clip as he certainly wasn't focussing on the camera.

Still lolling at the thought of a British person having a personality.

Yes, because being champion jockey, with wins in the Champion Hurdle and the Grand National is such an average year.
Cbf with it this year. The shortlist is always such bull****. This year, Mo Farah won gold in the 5000m & 10000m at the European Championships and broke the British 5000m record and the British 10000m road record. Sailor Ed Wright won the World Cup series and came 2nd in the European Championships in the finn class and won the finn Gold Cup (which I think is officially a world championship). And they miss out to a boxer who won one fight and one farce, and someone who is very good at throwing a large needle less than 8 foot.

BBC Sport - BBC announce 2011 Sports Personality of the Year top 10
It's that time again, when we look at some of the nominations and go what the **** did they do? I mean Andy Murray ffs. Amir Khan is pretty dubious as well, the guy who seems to want to follow in the footsteps of **** Naseem Hamed (to give him his official title) and trying their best to kill someone on the road whilst leading a flashy yet ultimately unsuccessful boxing career.
I would have thought that a cricketer would be an obvious choice, but it seems Cavendish and Clarke are the two that are way ahead in terms of odds. Cook and Strauss are long shots.
