Who, the whole cycling team? I think that's too wide, because Hoy and Wiggins for example haven't ridden together. Could go to the men's pursuit or sprint teams though.

Ive just had at the list of previous winners looking for a precedent- there isnt one really- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC_Sports_Personality_of_the_Year_Team_Award
- They might get it for squad of the year? Maybe?

 

[twistedAM]

Excellent...the highlights are on!
Time to watch it again!

 

[twistedAM]

The fact that the men have seven medals on the track and we only have three - I think that's sick, to be honest. I think something really needs to be done. It's just not fair. It wouldn't happen in other sports like swimming or athletics.

That's Victoria Pendleton in today's papers if you haven't guessed.
It is dumb - she could have equalled Chris Hoy pretty easily I reckon.

Totally agree.

I keep hearing this. In principle, it's obvious and must be right so . . . there must be other arguments of whuch I'm not aware?

The ladies are too delicate for a full programme?

 

[strung out]

No. They have a much bigger programme at the World Championships.

I just wanted to see her race more.
