Might have a look at this. Lincoln's a bit of a trek from Merseyside but always good to find somewhere to take the kids.

Yep i will be going.
Top line up inc: Cavendish Thomas Kenneaugh Stannard Adam & Simon Yates |

For those who aren't going it's streamed on Youtube.

By:
Dowsett 1/8 with Paddy's looks more than decent if you still have an account.

pp bet
Simon Yates 11/8 Peter Kennaugh 3/1 Adam Yates 9/1 Ian Stannard 9/1 Luke Rowe 10/1 Mark Cavendish 14/1 Adam Blythe 18/1 Scott Thwaites 20/1 Andrew Fenn 22/1 Joshua Edmondson 25/2 33/1 bar at these prices i think the value is Adam Blythe e/w @ 18/1 |

By:
I've done Luke Rowe 14/1 and Tao Geoghegan Hart 50/1

Why is Yates so short in that market?
Problem with betting on this pre-off is you never know which SKY riders are going to make the break. Don't suppose you have an up to date list of riders who are taking part do you? Main site is useless for withdrawals. Would have thought James Shaw would have been a good outside bet but he's not priced. |

There is a climb near the middle of Lincoln that is appparently very close to the finish and its up to 10%. There are several cobbled sections as well. I'm guessing the climb is why Yates is favourite. I'm hoping the cobbles will suit Rowe.
|

By:
Can't find a book still carrying it that I can get a bet on with..
Watching the womens race the climb looks no problem, it's so short that Cav should have no problem getting up it. In fact the climb in Glasgow where he won the title was considerably more testing. On that basis I'd probably have a small tickle on Cav & Fenn. |
|
By:
Lizzie Armistead wins the womens NRR, good to see her back and winning
|
|
By:
Can't see Cav getting up that climb and staying in contention if Yates or anyone else is there
|
|
By:
Agree with that, but SKY aren't going to be taking Yates to the final climb if they can get away with it.
If Blythe goes up the road with a SKY rider other than Kennaugh then there's going to be no chase I'd imagine. If it all stays together until the last climb I'd be having a cheeky few quid on Thwaites. |

Mens pictures live. Shout if you see any book taking this in play.
|
|
By:
No Yates in the break with the mens faves. No Carthy or Edmondson either?
|
|
By:
Edmondson there.
|
|
By:
Rowe, Kennaugh, Cav, Blythe, Thwaites & Stannard. Can't see the conti's coming back to them.
|
|
By:
Rowe and Cav back with Stannard and Kennaugh. Come on Luke Rowe!
|
|
By:
Have to say Cav looks as strong as I have seen him in ages
|
|
By:
Some shocks all round Europe:
Steve Tronet wins France NCRR (Auber 93) after Bouhanni crashes so no French Champs Jersey in the Tour Emanuel Buchmann (Bora-Argon 18) wins Germany Valverde wins Spain Terpstra wins Holland |
|
By:
Cavendish riding Kennaugh off his wheel. Incredible ride from Cav this, win or lose.
|
|
By:
Haller wins in Austria
|
|
By:
Rowe already having a 2016 contract with EQS?
|
|
By:
That climb at the end was a bit too much for Cav but he was so strong there.
|
|
By:
What a day . Fantastic race. Cav rode out of his skin. Must had admit I thought the 3 sky guys would work him over and he be cooked well b4 the final climb.
Superb stuff. Great to see Kennaugh/ Stannard and Rowe in the TDF Sky team. |
