Little betting for this stage then? TJ ew? Spread between Wiggo and the field?
Someone find me a market with some interest!!
Should Clay and Sir Denis just have a fight and we'll bet on that?

Which should be shorter? Wiggins to win, or Froome for a top 3 place?
|
|
By:
IMHO Froome for top 3 .... although hard to see anyone spoiling a 1-2. TJ is racing for something (just), Evans may want to go out in style, Sky's boys Porte and Rogers are arguably the 3rd and 4th best TTers left ... have they anything left in their legs?
.... and is a duel more suited to Sir Denis? |
|
By:
Why does that happen? Nervous hand on "post reply"?
|
|
By:
Agree about Froome and, unfortunately, the market seems to be heading that way - just.
Would Millar be a bet for top 3 at, say, 25s? Clay v Den would perhaps best be sorted by a tipping competition - say Top 3 finishers in correct order stages 19 and 20. Loser must change his username to lanterne rouge. |

Winning margin of less than 30 seconds at 2.62 (BlSq) does not look a bad bet.
|
|
By:
I reckon Wiggo wins this by 1 min plus. Its longer and flatter than the previous TT which will suit Wiggo better.
|
|
By:
I bow to no one in my admiration for the Froome dog but I actually fancy Wiggo here big time
|
|
By:
Slight concern that there could be a twist in the tale today for Wiggins, Tour gone so perfectly but sport not meant to be this straight forward, maybe a mechanical at a bad time...hope not...
|
|
By:
Sky car will be right behind with the spare bikes. Could have two mechanicals and still win this stage, and the tour.
|
|
By:
any chance Wiggins takes it a little bit easier today?? Has a 2 min lead so doesnt need to win the time trial, only way he loses the tour is if he has a bad crash.
|
|
By:
never in my life would bet on a time gap if the big fav has nothing to gain for putting in a 100% performance
|
|
By:
agree bb even at 90% he'll probably win and thats assuming everyone else is 100% which is unlikely at the end of the tour but with such a big gap he doesn't need to push it. Im sure he'll want to try and make a statement but everything we've seen so far from Sky has been safety first and not taking any uneccessary risks. If hes feeling good he'll probably give it his all but its risky betting on it when he has a 2min gap.
|
|
By:
yep,safety first.
Boring!!! maybe a puncture or 2 for sky might liven things up!!  |
|
By:
Is there a chance Wiggins lets Froome win by a few seconds as a thank you for the mountain stages to give him a stage win.Being last off he has control of his pace and knows everyone elses times and is in no danger of losing it.
|
|
By:
one thing i would not be doing,and thats betting on the stage.
|
|
By:
dont think froome would want that,if you cannot win on merit then should not win at all imo.
anyway Wiggins will go for it if hes strong enough,thats him. Fair enough as well. |
|
By:
Safest option is to put in 100% and win the stage comfortably. I reckon he will win by a minute.
|
|
By:
at least
|
|
By:
Wondering if Wiggo will save something for tomorrow. I don't think Sky will have the benefit of a nice stroll into Paris but they are committed to going for the stage win.
Probably not, can't see any value in Froome at current prices that's for sure. |
|
By:
can see wiggins winning by over 2mins
why is there timetrials? surely all mountains would be better? |
|
By:
be better to watch if it were
|

By:
clouds look like there is a small chance of rainshowers as well

does anyone have an engish stream ?
|
|
By:
nvm just found one
|
|
By:
TJ has a good shout at overtaking Evans on the road. That's going to be quite something. Chin up Cadel.

Team cycling is all about keeping your main man out of the wind, because the drag means you have to work 33% harder. ITTs ensure everyone is in the wind and riding for themselves.

By:
ok looks like hes not taking it easy :)
|
|
By:
Looks like your minute prediction might be a trifle conservative mc. Seems to be a bit of an "I'm the boss" ride
