Chris Hoy gets sports personality of the year

I'm slightly off topic on this one, and I'm all for congratulating chris hoy on becoming sports personality of the year, but is it just me or does everyone seem to forget that stephen roche won the tour de france, the vuelta, the giro and was world road race champion all in one year '87? i think. I know he didn't win sports personality of the year at the time, but he should have done..
just my tuppence,
excuse me I'll get me coat..

I seem to recall Stephen Roche was a johnny foreigner and as such disqualified from being a personality other than the johnny foreigner sports personality which is not voted on by the public but given to people like Bolt. After all no Brit has ever won a major tour.
