Market thinks this is straightforward with the odds:

1.1 AJ
13.5 Hamilton

....with the rest at 100+

Obviously Hamilton has had a far better year but gets less positive PR. Don't know whether its true or not with AJ's 'black superiority' comments but it just doesn't look good. AJ looks short at 1.1 but who beats him?...

Personally would love to of seen Frome win it for his Tour de France & Vuelta double and cant belive he's 100+

Mental that a few years back you could of made a case for over half dozen worthy winners then this year zippo

He was solid around 10+ but all the noise around him and drugs this last 2 weeks hasn't done him any favours at all.

Huge feat winning the French and Italian tours but again the public perception of cyclists doesn't look good (even if it isn't warranted).

That was a bit unexpected :)

Crazy that Joshua traded at 1.13 and didn't even make the top 3

Will have to dig in the records, but has a long history of being poorly priced.

Quite amazing how 80,000 will turn up in Cardiff to watch him fight Takam (not even top 10) and he can't even finish in top 3 against 2 relatively unknowns :shock:

He hasn't won the Giro d'Italia yet , only taken part twice ( think was Disqualified in one for holding into a motorbike ), usually plans his races to peak well after it. But is going to target it in 2018, assuming he hasn't been banned !!

Sorry, he won the Spanish tour.

Be interesting to see how many votes each nominee received.
