Guess you might have seen him on Jonafon Woss last night - said his lawyers had written to the BBC to demand he was removed from the list, so yes, could be very interesting if he wins.
TBF, Tao's win didn't really make a splash in the wider public eye, mainly because it wasn't in the TdF, which is the only race most non-cyclists know.
I'm not saying he doesn't deserve the nomination, just that I'm not surprised that he wasn't.

Fair play to the BBC, after years of messing about to try and find the worst possible edition of SPOTY they've somehow managed to lower the bar still further. Plenty of coverage of top-class walking around the garden - apparently British pensioners putting in a particularly strong appearance this year, along with a promising junior in the paralympic event - rather less actual sport, and most of that covered in tick-box fashion (including women's sport, FFS, so it's not even a case of being briefer to get a more representative list).

It's basically the Pride of Britain Awards these days.

Which of course means Klopp is also coach of the year, and Rob Baxter isn't even nominated? I'm certainly not an Exeter Chiefs fan but that's piss poor from the BBC.
The nominees this year include a jockey not selected to ride in any of the classics, Declan Rice's England back up, a cricketer who dropped at the beginning of the season and a boxer who try to sue to get his nomination cancelled.

Jordan Henderson played ahead of Rice when he wasn't injured and lifters Liverpool's first league title for 30 years. He also coordinated the PL players response to COVID.

Rice started every competitive match for England in 2020

Henderson missed many England games through injury. He was England player of the year in 2019.
Edit: actually I'm pretty sure Southgate has played them both together in a double pivot for the big games e.g Belgium

Would obviously never have won it but it's a fairly weak line up this year.
To be fair, this year has had so much top quality sport it must have been a real struggle to pick the contenders and the events to cover on the highlights.
I didn't watch but I assume they had to cover all the parents doing Joe Wickes workouts as well as the aforementioned Captain Tom walk. Did they manage to fit in a tribute to the NHS as well?

A 2 second flash of Pogacar on the podium and his name pronounced wrong.

The D-list pop star warbling over it really detracts from it and feels a bit disrespectful.
