Has To Be Wiggins

But there are other people out there who might push for someone else.

You can indeed see The Sun mounting the Jess Ennis campaign-"vote for our Jess", Murdoch wins elections so am sure he'll have no problem with SPOTY.

Then there is the Andy Murray factor-he may even be the BBC's preferred, so to speak, choice-they have coverage of his Olympic win and Wimbledon efforts, where-as they may struggle for Tour coverage permission.

Team GB will get the Team Award-maybe Wiggo accepting that on behalf of the team to dilute the fact he won't win the main one.

Phelps probably International Award.
