Back British Mountain Biking: Vote for Steve Peat!
Every year some jock footballer wins this award. There is a real chance this year of we all club together and get voting. Lets turn the tables!
Voting has opened for the 2006 BBC Sports Personality of the Year Award
The 2006 BBC Sports Personality of the Year award may have prompted critical opinions that British sporting success stories have been a bit thin on the ground this year. This is definitely not the case in mountain biking where Britain's Tracy Moseley and Steve Peat took the overall UCI Downhill Mountain Bike World Cup Champion titles. In Steve's case, it's the third time he's won this impressive title(02,04 & 06).With the biggest event in mountain biking, the 2007 UCI Mountain Bike and Trials World Championships, coming to the UK for the first time next September, it's time for the UK's most successful rider to get some much-deserved recognition.
For the first time, viewers of the BBC Sports Personality of the Year show (10 December 2006) will be able to vote from a shortlist of 10 contenders. The top 10 for the event will be drawn up using a new nominations voting system that will run until 15 November on the BBC sport website.

Notes.
Steve Peat was World Cup Downhill Champion in 2002, 2004 and now
2006. He has placed second in the Mountain Bike World Championships in 2000, 2001 and 2002, is seven times British Downhill Champion, two times European Downhill Champion and has fourteen World Cup wins to
his name. He is a real ambassador for the sport, encouraging and
developing young riders coming through the ranks, promoting the sport wherever possible and has built a huge fan base in the UK and further afield.
Foot out, flat out.
