Apologies if this has come up before.

For those who may be unfamiliar with the name, Jess is 17 and a promising young talent. A national and European champion, no less.

You may like to know Jess is up for another award, but it is neck and neck at the moment.

As you all live locally you may like to vote.

It all helps raise the profile of cycling.

    Being a "local" I've just voted as well :) Still looks very close though. Come all you Bromsgrovians get voting :lol:

    I've never been to Bromsgrove but have voted.

    Thinking about it, I have been to quite a lot of places, but I have never been to me.

    Is that something deep and philosophical, or a typo?

    I've voted again, but the gap is now HUGE - 7.3%, was around 1.5% last night, so alas it doesn't look like it's going to happen.

    Would love to say it is deep and meaningful....

    Unfortunately, it is a quote from a hideous Popular Music record from the 80's.

    Another vote for Jessica from someone who is local enough. As she was at the world championship then I reckon everyone is eligible to vote.

    When does the poll close ?

    I voted for Jess - I'm a Brummie originally and my cousin lives in Bromsgrove, so that must be OK.

    I've passed through Bromsgrove! :D , surely that's good enough.
    Remember that you are an Englishman and thus have won first prize in the lottery of life.

    The 'Varnish Team' must be really proud of young Jess....and credit where due to Jim, her Dad.
