The Dichotomy that is SPOTY
I don’t really get what the whole SPOTY thing is about to be honest, are we just judging these people on their personality, or their sporting acheivments or some kind of a balance of both.
I assume you have to firstly win something popular and then be a nice chap, Cav’s achievments for cycling are a lot more significant in my book, but he is not media friendly so won’t score high enough on the affable scale to win the coveted SPOTY, it’s a pretty irrelevant award to be honest.
I suppose it raises the profile of cycling to the general public…
