Why do people bang on every year about the "personality" aspect? In the context of the show personality simply means "famous or notable person" which is one of the two common definitions of the word.
The name of the show is simply of its time. It would be called Sports Person Of The Year if it was to be named today.
You only need two tools: WD40 and Duck Tape.
If it doesn't move and should, use the WD40.
If it shouldn't move and does, use the tape.
Did you catch a clip at the end when some guy was singing and the camera panned back to the presentation area? There were a few people on there, mo Farah, Billie Jean, etc. Along with the presenters and Thomas. Everyone turned around to talk to each other or the two sports persons I listed. That left Thomas looking around like the boring guy nobody likes. He really looked embarrassed about nobody to talk to, like he wanted out. Then a guy who I took as part of the filming process stepped up to talk to him.
Good job there's more than one meaning for personality. Nice guy I bet but the most common use for personality tag he isn't.
Still, I'd be happy enough with his new levels of income and the TdF yellow Jersey. Should be worth a few more appearance fees on chat shows.
I thought asher Smith would win. But you should never underestimate the vote of the little nations
Despite being Welsh and a cycling fan I'd have been very happy for Asher-Smith to win and I'm amazed she didn't do better. A very strong year for her and comes across really well, she seems very likeable to me.

Yep. I noticed this as well. Some aspects of the show were incredibly badly produced. Cutting the young racing driver's speech off before he'd finished as well....
Some time ago I heard an interview in which he indicated that he disliked it when people he didn't know called him "G", it seems that he has to overlook that nowadays.
All the Geraints I've ever known (many several) have answered to "Ger" when not addressed as Geraint.

I just happened to have read in the last few days the bit in his book where he says he was on the phone to a mate back home called Dale that they all called D. Cavendish overheard it, and said "If he's D, then you're G."

To be fair, I watched that at lunchtime today, and he was stood holding the trophy, which I am guessing is fairly heavy, and in previous years they just stand there while the outro (real word?) music plays, but this year they had the ole Ezra instead.
He was bound to be stood out front on his lonesome, as everyone else was gathered behind to watch him, and as more people came on the stage they came on from the rear, and didn't go as far onto the stage as he was.
The chap from the floor crew, I assumed, suggested (my interpretation) that he popped the trophy down for the moment, so he could chat more easily, as the next pan back he was talking to and shaking hands with some women (DAS even?) on the right hand side of the stage, and the trophy was back on the pedestal - before the end someone must have had a word, as he picked it back up again, and stood in the middle again as the end of the show was reached.

It also proved that Gary Lineker isn't worth 2 million a year as a presenter, at least of anything outside his football thing. He was stiff and wooden.

I am willing to examine exceptions on a case by case basis, usually if the offender can prove they are in fact well known to him.
I hazard a guess that his wife qualifies to be able to call him wtf she likes.

Usually comes across as very funny when hes relaxed. I reckon he'd be good company.

Can we add "the G-Unit" to this as well please.

Urban dictionary.
1. A gangster
2. A thousand dollars
3. A title of endearment
The first, second, third problably in the cycling unit, but third in the focused media menagerie is desired. Probably a concerted Earth saving move.

You mean aside from inside the book where it says he doesn't like people who don't know him calling him G?

Jeez, isn't making the Severn bridge free enough for the Welsh!
To be fair, she has probably done more of benefit to society with her documentaries then many that get honours.
