Chris Froome for SPOTY! on 20:07 - Jul 23 by Swans777 | In terms of sporting achievement, my friend, Joshua, isn't fit to lace Froome's boots. (If froome had laces that is ) |
That's your opinion and you're perfectly entitled to it, old son. Others will regard The Heavyweight Champion of the World as the sporting pinnacle regardless of how far or fast some bloke on a pushbike pedals. | |

That's fair enough my friend. When Joshua, is undisputed world heavyweight champion and has retained that title for a number of years, then we maybe able to talk about him as being in Frooms league. | | | |

Calling Wladimir Klitschko, a man who holds a PhD and speaks four languages a "moronic thug" doesn't do much for your argument I'm afraid. | |

Because someone maybe intelligent, doesn't mean they can't be a thug. By the way that's not my opinion on boxers. [Post edited 23 Jul 2017 22:03]

I thought Domoulins victory in the Giro d Italia was just as impressive. Froomes "year" hasn't included alot of racing really, be interesting to see the line up for the Vuelta | | | |

well said froome has zero personality and was riding for Kenya up until 2008 no thanks | | | |
Chris Froome for SPOTY! on 15:59 - Jul 24 with 1537 views | CountyJim | One thing that may stop him winning is it's Personality and clearly a great Sportsmen but lacking personality wise Nicola Adams there's a great personality Or change the award to Sports person of the year | | | |

Or learn the definition of the word "personality" so you'll realise that to win it the person doesn't necessarily have to be ultra charismatic or cracking jokes constantly for the benefit of the masses to excel in their chosen sporting field. | |

With all due respect to CountyJim, I admire Froome's personality tremendously. He's always polite in interviews, speaks intelligently, obviously is a big family man, always praises his teammates and is always modest. His performances on the road speak for themselves, he's supremely fit and a master tactician. What's not to like? Maybe he should get some tatts, start dating some slags on the side and end every sentence with 'yaknowwhatImean'?. | | | |
Chris Froome for SPOTY! on 09:21 - Jul 25 with 1431 views | Batterseajack | If and when he wins his 5th tour, there should be no excuse for him not winning SPOTY. That would put him level with cycling's all time bests Anquetil, Merckx, Hinault and Indurain. I've probably missed a glaringly obvious athlete here, but i can't see much competition other than Anthony Joshua so far this year. | | | |

Nope but having a personality usually means your likeable fun , interesting and engaging not some robotic monotone bore like froome or some boring spoilt brat like hamilton I'd say people like Botham sheene Hunt and Eubank had personality you may not like that personality at least they had something about them and they are the type of folk you'd like to go for a pint with . SPOTY is not just about achievements it's about personality if not take the personality out of the award oh and btw the fact he's not even british will go against him I suppose ;) | | | |

I know you're just fishing, but Froomey's parents were both British, which makes him British. More so than Ashley Williams for Wales or Kevin Pietersen for England. [Post edited 25 Jul 2017 10:47]

His parents being British doesn't make him British imo Even more so as he rode for another nation until what 2008? he only decided to represent the uk when he was 22 As for his achievements yes superb stuff, he is a brilliant cyclist and clearly a dedicated athlete who is the best at what he does But that doesn't mean he has a brilliant personality | | | |
