Yeah unfortunately I think Tom Daley will be right up there now - Still be a travesty if Mark Cavendish doesnt end up on the shortlist... Also feel that his achievements still overshadow anyone's at the Olympics, but the Olympics have always received better coverage than the Tour
Kenny for me. If you can't win it in a year when you set a record like that, when can you? That said Trott has got to be a contender, can't they have a family award?
Is Cav out of contention for the TdF next year? I'd rather him get the award when he takes Merckx's record

Will remain to be seen how he does over the next 12 months really... Hasnt signed a new deal with Quick-Step yet for starters
Kenny is a great shout. He has won a silly amount of medals, mostly gold and would be very deserving. Mind you, his wife ought to have a great shout too! I'd give it the the Kenny family.
Another shout for Kenny, although I get why Daley is up there given everything he's gone through and achieved. And people genuinely seem to like him (and why wouldn't you?). Feel for Cav but in an Olympic year, in a minority sport that doesn't get prime time coverage, I can't see him getting it.
Kenny became Britain's greatest Olympian of all time. I appreciate that feat is achieved over numerous years, but it is akin to Hamilton breaking the F1 records. It deserves recognition.

Edit: Just looked on oddschecker and they are the two front-runners.
Rumours of a special award for Services to Moaning for Christian Horner too.
