So this year will be interesting.  Apparently current odds:

 

B Wiggins 5/4

M Farah 9/4

A Murray 5/2

J Ennis 8/1

D Weir 20/1

E Simmonds 35/1

R McIlroy 100/1

C Hoy 100/1

S Storey 100/1

 

I'd go:

Murray, Wiggins, Farah, McIlroy, Ennis, Hoy

That order

maybe

 

I think I agree but take out McIlroy and probably move Hoy before Ennis  ;D

Given the enormity of both men's achievements, the award should be shared between Murray and Wiggins this year.

 

 

But Tour de France has an element of it being a team sport surely?  Murray's achievement is the greater in my opinion.

Farah and Weir's achievements are also brilliant.

I don't think the team aspect is strong enough to take away the individual achievement, the TdF is among the most gruelling sporting events around and no UK sportsman has ever won it.  Wiggins also won the Olympic Road Race on top of all the other championships and medals he has won over the years.  I would love Murray to win it (and I think that he will) but at this moment in time my vote would go for Wiggins.  That might change if Murray goes on to with the World Tour Finals in November.

I don't suppose there were any real surprises in the short list.

The bookies seem to be going with Wiggo as favourite, then Farah, Murray, Ennis and Weir.

 

Personally hoping for Farah, Murray or Weir.
