MattK Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 http://www.fim-live.com/en/ For anyone who's interested, you can vote in three categories for the 2010 FIM World Champions. Darcy Ward is nominated in the "Rookie of the Year" category, there's a Woman of the Year(!) and Tomasz Gollob, as well as Joonas Kylmakorpi, are in the strangely titled "Personality of the Year" category which seems to include almost every two wheeled World Champion in 2010, regardless of actual personality or character.

SCB Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 Surely as Gollob struggles to speak any English we can't possibly vote him as personality of the year. Sod it, it may help speedway get noticed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Leslie Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 Darcy Ward is nominated in the "Rookie of the Year" category, there's a Woman of the Year... I think the second category is more appropriate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexter Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 Gollob as a personality of the year? Naaaah, even in Polish language he isn't one. Not sure if Ward has much chance to succeed in his category either. He may have won the second title but apart from that it wasn't his year at all. He struggled in the leagues, his overall performance wasn't impressive at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

czechhero Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 you don't need a personailty to be voted the sports personality , otherwise Zara Phillips would not have won the BBC sports personality Too true. One of, if not the, biggest characters in World Sport never gets a sniff in the BBC awards; Valentino Rossi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirt Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 anyone know what prize Darcy claimed for winning? Didnt need to vote Darcy could have won that award with his eyes closed and just goes to show even more how hopeless the FIM and MA bodies are by not promoting the best sport they have on offer ! Other sports can p!ss up the creek as far as Im concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
