Wiggins = 4th
Cavendish = 131st.

No further questions, m'lud.

Think it's time you got "on your bike"

people are always going to vote for their own sport....so its hardly illogical that Man U fans voted for Ryan Giggs, and there's more Man U fans than cycling fans

If Adrian Morley was in the running I bet there would have been a big campaign on here to ring up and vote for him, we would all have voted Morley regardless of whether we really thought he deserved it or not

spot on, i am afraid that due to the massive amount of utd fans in the country, he was always going to win whatever we all think.
Remember Utd fans are like rats, you are always less than 100 yards away from one (thanks Jason Manford for that one)

Apart from in central Manchester or Salford that is...

Giggs won it,who cares move on please.

That's a myth propogated by jealous rivals.

Part myth - part truth.

There are plenty of Man Utd fans in Manchester & Salford, certainly as many as there are City fans.

However, of the 70,000 plus who watch live at Old Trafford, a good half are 'tourists' who travel from far and wide to watch them.....This is where the whole non-Mancunian thing stems from. (By the way, this is researched fact and a similar thing applies to Liverpool, thus the accusation that Everton are the true 'people's club' of the City of Liverpool...)

It's a myth I'm quite happy to perpetuate, one thing I can assure you I am most certainly not is jealous of Manchester United though.

Glad to hear it. I guess from your statement that you are neither a Liverpool or Manchester City supporter then?

nope - as much as I care about tossball I'm a Newcastle fan but would much rather watch a sport not played by overpaid primadonnas & run by people who would rather make a fast million profit than actually put anything back into the game.

Real football is played at a grassroots level these days, anything with the words "fully professional" in it can be ignored as out of touch & irrelevant IMO.

But yet Everton also have quite a lot of "tourists" who watch their games.......David Moyes has admitted that himself in an interview.

Maybe, but not as many as Liverpool & United.....There was a survey conducted not so long ago which had Liverpool and Man Utd as the highest percentage of long distance supporters for home matches, and Everton & Newcastle with the highest percetage of hometown followers (obviously the survey was done before Newcastle were relegated).

Hardly surprising is it given their success over the years.
