Tour de France 2016

Sport
1

The biggest sporting event in France this summer starts tomorrow.

You can’t look past Froome but odds of 11/10 make him unbackable - I’ve had a cut at Dan Martin finishing top 10 at same price and Alaphillipe @14/1 to win young rider.

Froome won the recent Dauphine and he won that warm up race both times prior to winning le Tour previously. Dan finished 3rd this year and looks in decent form - he’s also 5/4 to sneak a stage win.

The Route

There are 4 mountain top finishes (9, 12, 17 & 19) not to be missed but Stage 12 finishing on Mont Ventoux should be the highlight.

You’d want your head examined to go to this.

So 11/10 makes Froome unbackable even though you can’t look past him yet you’ve backed Dan Martin at the exact same price for a top 10 finish ??

4

Yes, because there are 10 places in top 10 so more of a chance. There is only 1 place in the win category. Let me know if you need me to help you count to 10 so you know the difference

5

Quintana is surely a big enoughthreat that froomes odds are too short???

Some bets that take my fancy:
Fabio Aru to finish on the podium - 10/3
Fabio Aru to win KOM - 14/1
Domenico Pozzovivo to win KOM - 16/1
Marcel Kittel to win over 2.5 stages - 5/4
AG2R to win the Team Classification - 7/1

Watched the team introductions last night. Totes awks for the teams but lovely setting and has to be done.

Dan Martin for a stage win looks like a good bet. Double up on a top 10 finish too

Where are you getting your prices? 6/4 widely available on Froome and Dan Martin 11/4 for top 10 with Boyles. Taking 11/10 on an 11/4 shot wouldn’t make much sense.

Kittel possibly. The rest no.

Thanks for the heads up. I’m taking that 11/4 on Boyles right now!

11

Did you not already “have a cut” at 11/10?

12

I did on Bet365 :frowning:

Doesn’t stop me going again

13

Greipel will win today

14

I used to love the TdeF back in the day, but since that hoor Lance Armstrong not so much

15

It’s better since he fucked off

16

Cav wins from kittel and greipel

17

He’s obviously prepared well. Surely this gives my celeb spot even more weight.

18

A right trio of cuntys

Cav is alright. He went up in my estimation when he blanked you.

There is that.
