It's a really hard one to call this year.
In any other year, so many of them would win, without question.
Brad, winning the TdF
Murray, winning the first grand slam for Britain in ages
Ainslie, winning gold 4 olympics in a row
Ennis and Farah, for the publicity generated after their wins
Hoy, 2 golds, and 6 in total
McIlroy winning a major, and the ryder cup comeback
Storey, 4 golds, and 11 in total,
Weir 4 golds.
I think not enough people like Murray, so he won't do it, and I don't think Ainslie, Storey and Weir have enough publicity.
Personally I don't think someone should win it, just for doing something someone does every year. But it doesn't always work that way, publicity means a lot.
I think it will be as follows:
1) Ennis
2) Farah
3) Brad
But we have had many cyclists winning recently, so I guess Brad and Hoy have a shot.
