So do we vote for Jonny Rea on Saturday ? Normally I'd stay well away from programs like this (next thing you know I'll be watching Strictly or some "reality" tv ) But it would be nice to make the general public aware of "us". Saw the SPOTY preview show, pretty obvious they haven't got a clue, Rea's section was fairly uninspiring. Edit: Answer - we don't vote for Jonny on Saturday,...... it's on Sunday (told ya I don't usually do that sort of tv)
Don't think he has much chance unfortunately, i've just checked the stats and the last time a motorbike racer won was John Surtess in 1959!..Barry Sheene came 3rd in 1977..If you ask any non biker to name a current motorbike racer they might have heard of Rossi but thats about it.There's even plenty of bikers who don't follow the racing and havn't a clue who Jonathan Rea is
To only be out voted by Mo Farah is pretty sensational, will that make the powers that be sit up and listen and give motorcycle sport more coverage (and sponsorship/money) instead of endless fucking football? ................................ probably not. Well done Jonny!
