Criterium de Dauphine

Done Nibali at 16/1 & Rolland at 50/1.

Schleck at 50/1 is an eyecatching price, as is Cobo at 150/1.

Nibali at 18/1

Nibali at 18/1

Today's prologue is about the only flat bit in the whole race. Rain is forecast from about 12-2 and from 3 onwards, so like last year, it could all be about the luck of the draw. Westra goes off first and Wiggins goes off last, so its quite likely the conditions will be completely different for each of them. Looking at the prices, Degenkolb at 33/1 and Vinoukorov at 80/1 look a bit big, considering they were 4th and 2nd in this respectively last year. Durbridge has a lot of pedigree as a time triallist and could go pretty well, but is short enough at 14s. One of the time triallists will probably take the stage down, but I wouldnt be backing Wiggo or Martin at short prices until I'd seen the conditions though.

First away is Westra, at 10.40 am UK time. The rain isnt expected until 11.00 UK time, so every chance Westra and Degenkolb could get the best of the conditions. Other contenders go off at (CET). Big disadvantage for Miller, Wiggo and the other late starters if the rain is as forecast.

Westra 11.40
Degenkolb 11.41
Evans 11.59
Boassen Hagen 12.00
Durbridge 12.05
Vinokourov 12.20
Van Garderen 12.21
Rogers 12.22
Martin 12.28
Porte 2.12
Miller 2.22
Wiggins 2.34

Can't see Cobo's price any where??
Where do you find the 150/1??

Durbridge today, Coppel overall for me

Also looking forward to seeing Nairo Quintana on the joux-plane

Thanks Mary ...Cobo is not on Betfair!!
Dauphine not for him anyway...Le Tour far more his bag!
Good back up team for the mts and a big price.

Storming ride from Wiggins today.
Must go in with a cracking chance in the TDF with around 100k of Time Trialing.

Ace looking stage today, I'm on Nibali at 14/1

Nibali one of the first dropped over 20km out. **** market though, currently 256% round and Schleck quoted at 10/1 and he isn't even racing ffs. This is only for mugs.
