Sir Clive had plenty enough success in his own right, but Brailsford has certainly earnt his place in the NY Honours list I feel.

If you want to pick on sirs less well deserving, how about starting with footballing sir's that didn't even earn their knighthood from the 66 world cup...

Sir Chris Hoy is going to have to either be made Sir Sir Chris Hoy, or just be given Scotland.

I mentioned this too him when I met him at the TdF time trial (he signed my Sky jersey), and said I thought it was a travesty that he hadn't had a knighthood already. And this was before winning the TdF and the current success on the track. He just smiled ๐Ÿ˜‰

He's an all round good guy, very interesting to talk to. He also had to ride Froome's bike back to the hotel ๐Ÿ˜†

He obviously wants to keep his hand in on the bike just in case his off bike success slips away...
