Anderson. Done what he’s done all his career. Super bowler but no.
Asher- Smith. Fantastic year and improvement. Possible.
Hamilton. Fantastic year but the best driver in the best car should win. 3rd for me.
Kane. Did sweet fa when it mattered.NO, NO, NO.
Thomas. 1st and somebody above posted not even best British, expand?
Yarnold. Sliding downhill on a tray. No.

Nah they mentioned him, can’t really argue about the top 3. Tour de France is supposed to be the hardest thing in the world to win

Not biting at Turtle but how you can discredit JA is astounding, he’s a acieved more than anyone that’s ever played for Burnley at football

Love Geraint Thomas and made up for the guy, but you have to wonder why he wins SPOTY after one Tour de France when Froome, with his four tours, plus a Giro and a Vuelta, has never got near it.

Might have something to do with G having an entire nation behind him...

4th time I've backed a cyclist at very very reasonable odds, and the 3rd time I've handsomely collected.

The Brita love a cyclist!
