Can't see them doing tv ads involving an Airfix kit of Cav and his bike any day soon!

Hasn't the fight been postponed due to Calzaghe injuring his hand? I don't think the new schedule would allow for Calzaghe to fight in time to recieve a nomination (at least on the grounds of fighting Jones).
What about Cav getting a nomination for young sports personality - they sometimes come from less mainstream sports at least.

So you're moaning that it doesn't get the coverage that it deserves and if it did, then you'd moan again because you want it to be kept as a minority sport.Steve Austin said:

on my observations on the BBC and its showing of Cycling
I like their inability to show cycling
it keeps my sport profile small

Didn't the Beeb give up plenty of airtime to the World Track Championships earlier this year? Possibly as a result of the anticipated success of the British team (although maybe also because they were in the UK). And now that Cav did so well at the Tour there is a danger that cycling might have a higher profile after all, Steve!

tommy simpson won it in '65, so you never know.
i suspect a campaign to get cav the honour will go further than for nicole cooke, purely because his achievements will have had a higher profile.

which is why he has a higher profile. sad to say that if nicole cooke looked a bit more like victoria pendleton, she might have a higher profile in her own country.

There are only two things that could ever get a cyclist the award.
1. A Tour de France win.
2. The World Road Championship (Mens).
Nobody but a cyclist is going to vote for the winner of the madison or the pursuit, whether at the Olympics or the worlds.
And you can forget about a female cyclist ever winning it.

Its a contradiction in terms as most of them seem devoid of any personality.
