Lizzie Armitstead UCI World Road Racing Champion 2015

A big congratulations to Elizabeth Armistead for becoming the 2015 elite women's road racing world champion. A fantastic achievement ... and the manner in which she won towards the end was both brilliant and brave.

I can't think of a British woman this year who has done better in her sport on the World Stage.  So she must be a contender for SPOTY & must be the top woman*.

*Correction another Lizzy - Yarnold is another British woman who has been equally dominant in her sport at world level (skeleton) - over the winter season 2014/2015.

And Peter Sagan wins the men's race. Don't think I've ever seen a peloton of riders that happy to see someone else win.

Yes a well deserving world champion and like the women's race a brilliant and brave end of race finale.
