If anyone on here argues that Chris Hoy wasn't the deserving winner, then they are just wrong. The guy is just a legend, and should have won that award. So glad he did.

I thought that the award was well enough deserved.
Lewis Hamilton is a great F1 driver but somewhat lacks a personality...
Also he had the misfortune to win his title in an Olympic year!
at the London parade they did in october, hoy was just a cycling machine while becky addlington exuded charisma. and the dwarfy swimmer was delightfully happy. it was a joy to see those two with their medals. chris hoy came across as an arrogant robot. just my opinion.
I used to go out with a lassie in Edinburgh who lived next door to Chris Hoy. He used to chain his bike up in the landing - for a professional cyclist, he had a pretty shitey looking bicycle.
