Jude Bellingham?? Surely not.

Jasmin Paris should be in there as well the first woman ever to complete the Barkley Marathons

Snag is 99% of the general public will never have heard of the Barkley Marathons.

Harsh on Luke Humphries that.

But I suppose he's not a chubby teenager and therefore loses out on the "personality" part of the criteria.

 

[35to39]

Keely Hodgkinson a surely a shoo-in to win it, and would be well deserved.

Root far and away the greatest 'sportsperson' on that shortlist though.

Completely agree

 

[RavsFan]

What!

No Ed Davey

 

[GibbosEmpire]

Personally I think Bukayo Saka deserves it, the lads an amazing role model

 

[B_G]

I think Keely would be a worthy winner to be fair.
I expect her to pick it up.

Its hard to see how Brook doesn't make the list to be honest.

That said, its nice to see all worthy contenders (well, perhaps with the exception of Jude who definitely won't win) and no jockeys or formula one drivers for a change.

 

[1finny]

I think the darts fraternity will get their act together to spike the others

 

[parnabyscrosses]

Bellingham :ROFLMAO:

 

[JackG]

Where's Cav?

 

[atypical_boro]

Where's Cav?

Only won one stage this year didn't he?

 

[Frozen Horse]

Its hard to see how Brook doesn't make the list to be honest.

Possibly the ECB only wanted 1 on the list? CHance of splitting the vote otherwise.

Keely should and will win, I'd go Yee second but I don't think he'll get it.

 

[JackG]

Only won one stage this year didn't he?

To become the all-time leading stage winner in TdF at age 39

To become the all-time leading stage winner in TdF at age 39

Yeah but, personally, I don't think breaking those kind of records warrants it, as the vast majority of it didn't happen this year. For me it should be someone who has risen to the top of their sport (Hodgkinson, Yee) or in some cases, maintained that (Root). Cav was a worthy winner in 2011.

Bellingham has also done that across the year but he will be mostly be remembered for not quite delivering in the Euros (despite his brilliant last minute winner).

Very hard to win 35 stages in 1 year.

SPOTY is an abomination of an award. It deserves sending to room 101.
