    Time of the year for SPOTY, all candidates can be found at this link:

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/sports-personality/20467299

    Who are your top three and why? Mine are as follows:

    1st - Bradley Wiggins - truely amazing feat on winning the Tour-de-France, the first Brit to do so and then just over a week afterwards racing two brutal killers of racers in the Olympics. Firstly to try and assist Cavendish in winning the road race - didnt happen unfortunately and then stuffing everyone out of site a few days later in the time trial. he comes across really well, some will say it is arrogant.

    2nd - Mo Farah - the first British athlete to win both the Olympic 10k and 5k double. I remember watching him complete the double in the hotel bar in Majorca. Best moment of the Olympics IMHO

    3rd - I would pick Rory Mcllroy - I love the game of golf and his achievements this year have been outstanding. No 1 in the world, he won both the US and European tour money lists, Major winner (again) and a member of the victorious Ryder Cup. Any other year and this fellow would have won SPOTY hands down.

    I know opinions will differ, so who are yours and why?

    Would agree with Bradley Wiggins getting it.
