    What's Kimmage done then? Aside from being sued, obviously?

  • My guess is, due to the Lance factor, it may not be a cyclist winning this year.

    It's going to be Wiggins.

    The producers of the SPOTY show this year are the same people who did Spartacus for HBO and have been brought in by the BBC to snazz things up.
    I've heard a rumour that Mrs Wiggins, Peta Todd and Michelle Cound are going to have a slow motion 3-way mud wrestle whilst the boys sing 'Eye of The Tiger' a la the 3 Tenors...

    Now that'd be worth watching!

    I might actually watch SPOTY if that happened.

    Erm his official title is England's Brave John Terry.
  • If Armstrong and Terry were introduced would there be some kind of nucleur reaction as two such positives (Terry=postive cnut and Armstrong, well, positive everything) came into contact?

    Terry'd just sleep with all of Armstrong's ex wives and want to shake his hand afterwards and mistake Armstrong's "zip the lip" for a green light to get a bit bondigey with it all.

    Armstrong would probably just pop loads of viagra and cry w*nk himself to sleep, counting his millions to make himself feel better, before calling Bruyneel all sniffy and full of snot.

    Bruyneel would at this point be in some Chelsea bar having taken down £300 worth of wine (so half a bottle) and just end up saying "ja" lots, before bumping Armstrong off because the high class hookers had just arrived. He was favourite with them afterall, because he knew all the drug dealers, and gave them a good rate for favours.
















    Jesus, wtf just happened in my head?

    He's just Chelsea's Brave John Terry these days. He's retired from international football to spend more time with someone else's family.

    If it was awarded for the greatest sporting achievement of the year then I recon Mo Farah should win. He would have my vote.
    Winner: PTP Vuelta 2007 :wink:

    No matter who on that list wins you'd really have to say 'fair enough'

    My vote would go to Ennis. Lot of pressure as the 'face' of the Games and she delivered in style

    No cyclist will win SPOTY (Ennis will)

    Scottish Cycling fans will vote for Chris Hoy and split the vote

    Harsh truth is that no one will think to vote for Sarah Storey......

    (Copied to Predictions thread)

    If I had a choice from that list, I'd pick Ben Ainslie as his achievements blow wiggos out of the water boom boom!), but not for 2013 admitadly

    It's ironic that Hoy and Storey made the list but the two people they got dropped in favour of - Kenny and Trott didn't.

  • Wiggins is HEAVY favourite to win with the bookies. Hoy at 125/1 is looking cheap.
    Contador is the Greatest
  • Wiggins is HEAVY favourite to win with the bookies. Hoy at 125/1 is looking cheap.


    Indeed he is the HEAVYWEIGHT as far as the bookies are concerned. Having laid out some readies on him a couple of weeks ago, I'm now praying that Wiggo doesnt have another tussle with the paparazzi - keep him in Mallorca till the 16th, Shane! - or that Farah doesnt do something heroic before then (he can stop that Mobot video thats doing the rounds to raise money for his charity, for starters)
  • After the year bradleys had i'd be perplexed big style if he does not get it. Its been an awesome year for others sure but..
