It'll be SirMo

It's Chris Froome for me, but some people are saying Jonathan Rea could be a surprise winner. Secured a historic third successive World Superbike Championship this year.

On 2017 achievments alone Froome followed by Hamilton and Joshua for me. Thought Peaty should have won in 2016.

Not denigrating the achievements of a Hamilton and Froome, but they are part of teams that are comfortably ahead of their rivals.  They have of course both achieved great things in their fields and they are at those teams because of their immense talent.

Adam Peatty is definitely worth a mention as is Mo, but for me it has to be Anthony Joshua, just for the Klitschko fight alone to be honest.

How Defoe is not in contention but Kane is  - is beyond me.  The word personality is key here.

I'd say it was between Froome, Hamilton & Farah, I hope Farah gets it.

This comes up every year.

"Sports Personality" is just a way of avoiding saying "Sportsman", so as to leave the award open to men or women.

The personalities of the nominees aren't taken into account.

"Sports Person of the Year" would be a better title for the vote

Agreed, but the awards were invented before anyone used that phrase.

Too right, or Andy Murray would've been ineligible rather than win the bloody thing!

I think we can rule Froome out.
