i wanted hoy to get it but had my money on hamilton. i reckon most of the public would have voted for hamilton.
hamilton is a great driver but he has yet to proove himself as far as im concerned. when hes won a few more championships he can have it.
hoy has done more for his sport and country, and is part of the machine that produced such great medal results at the olympics. i think its amazing how well we did, and its probably the best we can ever hope to get, as were really unlikely to beat the giants like china, the US ect. as long as we beat australia and germany weve done ourselfs proud. i hate the idea of patrism, but i cant help but have affection for the country i grew up in.
