So, this was rather troubling. After another great year where he won E3, Flanders, Paris-Roubaix, two Tour Stages (wearing the yellow jersey for a few days) and repeating for the umpteenth time as time trial champion of the world, The Canc is rewarded by his fellow Swiss as their 5th best male sportsperson of the year... Scandalous.
Now don't get me wrong, winner Simon Ammann had an excellent year, and doing the large hill-small hill double at the Olympics for the 2nd time is an amazing achievement, and finishing 1st in the overall Ski Jumping World Cup is mucho impressive as well, and one can argue for him being the best. But The Canc also finishes behind some nobody called Kilian Wenger (who practices a sport called schwingen), Roger Federer (who did very well of course, but not by his own standards) and Didier Cuche.... Come the f--- on!!! This is a slap in the face to all of cycling. (On a side note its also a bit of a diss for Carlo Janka, who won olympic gold AND was the first Swiss person in 15 years to win the Overall Skiing World Cup title).
Now I like the Swiss a lot (and I may be practically alone in that regard). I've lived in Switzerland for over half my life. I find this nothing short of disgraceful from the people who once were my neighbors. Shame on you Switzerland
