Sports personality vote

Voting has started for the 2006 BBC Sports Personality of the Year and now is your chance to put your favourite biker in with a shout.

A new system will see 10 contenders short listed for the event on Sunday, December 10.

Perhaps James Toseland gets your vote for his second place in the World Superbike Championship or MCN’s 2006 Man of the Year and Riders’ Rider Leon Haslam is the outstanding rider for you.

Another biking candidate could be World Enduro Champion, David Knight.
