It’s better late than never is a phrase that can never ring
truer in than Sports betting so waiting until the last 2.5 kilometres to update a
preview for the Tour De France has it’s merits. We know that the breakaway has been caught and there’s going
to be a bunch sprint, thanks to the extreme pace set up by the elite.
We advised backing Slyvain Chavanel each/way yesterday after it
transpired he was under the weather, and today of all days – It’s Bastille day
after all – I see no reason to desert him if – as the Eurosport page suggests –
he’s on the main group.
We advised backing Slyvain Chavanel yesterday after it
transpired he was under the weather, but sadly he’s been dropped on the only
climb of this stage. With a few of the elite sprinters in the lead group along
with the GC contenders, expect an exciting sprint with the winds not giving the
trouble expected late on. There’s still
time for a massive bunch – 30 riders are leading, and several others trying to
get back – while Michael Ablasini and Alexandre Vinokourov have tried to go clear. I’d expected
them to be reeled in by the elite group, which contains many elite sprinters, including
Andre Greipel and Peter Sagan, who currently trade as near joint favourites. With such a strong leadout train Greipel would
have to be favourite, but Sagan might be able to hang onto the wheels of Lotto
Belisol and nick the stage, while the downhill finish is sure to suit him,
along with a roundabout going downhill. At the marginally bigger price, he gets
a tight call.
Advice
2 pts Peter Sagan (9/5 Bet365)
1 pt Sylvain Chavanel (39/1 Bet365)
Already Advised
1 pt each/way Sylvain Chavanel (66/1 general)
