Pretty much. It's a brand thing, too, I suppose. Once you get a couple of big boys on board, the sky brand is attractive. The Olympic coach running the team as well (less relevant to EBH admittedly)

One Schleck injured and the other failing a drugs test, with the favourite going on paternity leave might have helped, too.

5/1 Wiggina for next year, assume Contador comes back as fave and they wont have 2 time trails as long

Although i tend to agree, all it takes is a one British underdog to won a gold and Wiggo's out of the running

Meh, none of the Olympians feats would come anywhere close. TDF is the ultimate sporting endurance event - and Wiggins has become the first Brit ever to win it. Some Gold medallist curler/tidli-winker/heptathlete is not even on the same level...

I agree, but the people that vote the SPOTY may see it differently. I hope not

If Contador is there next year, I would put him as favorite. Drugs or no drugs he is still awesome.  

I would like to see Wiggins win sports personality in December, however if Pendleton wins three golds as some have predicted she may beat him to the award. I like her as well, so all is good
