GrumpyOldGuy Posted July 9, 2013 Share Bookies all disagree - Froome priced at 1/7. That means bet R7 to win R1. Other favourites as follows: Contador, Quintana & Valverde - ranging from 16/1 to 20/1.Mollema, Rodriques, Martin & Kreuzinger - 66/1.Ten Dam - 100/1Evans, Schleck & the rest - 100/1 and more Yeah, but its all just a Crapshoot really, its the future, no one knows, its just a case of looking at the odds and rolling the dice, sometimes ya win, some times ya lose. ......but I enjoy the speculation immensely.

Wez-O Posted July 9, 2013 Share So this is a pretty close Tour thus far, although the flat TT will widen the gaps one would think. Edited July 9, 2013 by Wez-O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez-O Posted July 9, 2013 Share Sky on the front? Sky, you need to keep your bullets for the mountains. Don't hurt y'self, y'hear.I was also trying to figure out the rational behind that? Every rider in the breakaway is over an hour behind Froome and it's a super flat stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wez-O Posted July 9, 2013 Share Remember Voeckler in yellow in 2004? What were they thinking letting him go.Good point although surely on a super flat stage like this, there is no chance that Lotto, Quickstep, Argos Shimano & Cannondale would let any breakaway go far? Sky should be vary wary of Movistar come the Alps and and save energy accordingly... Yes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
