The other poster reminded me (and not having a go at anyone), but why do people assume that this award is some sort of pinnacle of sporting achievements and not just a glorified X factor popularity contest?
You see when someone wins a major achievement in their sporting field, say Wiggins winning the TDF in 2012, people instantly start talking about "oh he's a shoe-in for SPOTY" as though just winning the greatest prize in their chosen sport, to which they've dedicated their life, is just a byproduct to winning the ultimate accolade of the SPOTY.
