John Surtees 1959?

[Mr2Mike]

I'm just waiting for voting to open. Realistically I doubt he will win but would be great to get him further up in the results.

[Shadow R1]

It's open.

I have voted for him but not just because he races motorcycles, he's a classy person with a good attitude and fk me he can ride a bike.

[silverfoxcc]

Yep and if everyone in Britain voted for him, he still wouldnt win as the producers would claim the voting was rigged and it has gone to Andy Murray YAWN or Lewis ( personality is my middle name) Hamilton
See the Bob Nudd fiasco in 1990 or so

Mind you the Bradley Lowery bit i watched in a very dusty room Jermaine Defoe is a top bloke

Save your money by not phoning

I think if Murray wins it again their will be uproar as he's not nominated

That said I do share your distaste/lack of confidence in the BBC.

A richly deserved accolade for Jonathan on a personal level, and fantastic for all motorcycle racing fans.

So pleased, good luck to you Jonathan

I stand corrected, but to be fair I wasn't even alive then.
Jonny did well, much better than I expected.
Well deserved.

Cracking result, and not a million miles away in terms of overall number of votes - Rea's 80,567 played Farah's 83,524

Well deserved that man. A rolling burnout coming on to the stage would have been nice, though...
