Nothing at all, great respect for them and what they've achieved at the Olympics, but, as SPOY is voted for by the public, and I don't think equestrian sports have the same wide-ranging appeal as some others.

Princess Anne won it once.

They managed to vote Cavendish to win SPOTY for winning a few TdF stages. What Wiggins has done, WAY surpasses that.

WINNING A FEW TdF STAGES!!!!! He became the first ever british winner of the Green Jersey!!!

Funny thing is his World Championship win this year would have been a massive deal usually, but it is a bit..... meh, after all the other great acheivements.

Wiggo should still win it, winning the TdF is one of the hardest things in sport, and to follow it up with a gold medal 3 weeks later just defies belief..... plus he is back in the saddle next week in the tour of Denmark. Amazing.

Like I said earlier, and absolutely no disrespect to Princess Anne, but, most years they struggle to come up with a deserving winner. Especially compared to this year.

Ryan Giggs is proof of that.

I agree, was just pointing out that Old HRH Horse face won it for being good on horses.

Umm Pat, Cav won the Green and World Championship, last year, hence winning the SPoTY.

The World Championship is held in Sept.

If you want to make a shit load of money have a bet on Jon Tiernan-Locke winning it, this year.
