Is an award voted for by the public actually worth anything? What major ward is voted for by supporters of Brexit and Trump?
I have said before that Froome will exit cycling as maybe Britain's* most sucessful sportsman, without a top three finish in SPOTY.
*Kenyan. Yeah, yeah, I know.”
Exactly my point - is he worth 3 wins when other great British sporting stars goes unnoticed ?
Then what if 2017 is a even better year for Murray ? Will the Murray lovers come out in force - what if froome wins a 4th Tour de France , would that not be a greater achievement than anything Murray produces in his life ?
2016 award should go to a anyone who practised hard for 4 years for a gold medal and solely practised for the olympics ,not a guy who if win or loose was able to jet off to other events - if it's a case of win some loose some then Lewis Hamilton should be with a shout - 2016 should be all about a British Olympic athlete - no exceptions
