Our friends’ next door neighbour on the IOM has just finished in the top 3, ahead of Joshua and Hamilton. Didn’t realise he was nominated, or that there were that many bike fans around.

Didn’t realise he was nominated, or that there were that many bike fans around.To be fair, his record makes him very much deserving of it and I personally will be very happy when people start consistently getting votes on this based on the weight of their achievements rather than the popularity of the sport/event they compete in.
Lifetime achievement Mo wins sports personality. The last realistic chance to win and he was never not going to pick up the trophy!!Poor year of candidates to choose from. Thought AJ might have had a chance. Still. Next year and the world cup winning squad to choose from.
That's true. Remember when Zara Phillips or Greg Rusedski won it?
Weren't Faldo and Davis quite deserving, though? Faldo won the Masters while Davis won the World Championship, winning the final 18-3.

The word personality is key here.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.
