CYCLING


The winner of this years tour may well be decided today. Well if Nibali wants it, he has to do it today, by at least 3 and half minutes for mine, it looks highly unlikely. However if he skips clear on the final climbs and Brad picks up a mechanical problem.... like i said, highly unlikely. Chris Froome has been playing the part of Goose incredibly and admirably and the bookies have him favourite today, I presume on the basis that he will be allowed a moment of glory, by god he deserves it, should the opportunity arise. With the HC climb so close to the finish it's unlikely that the breakaway will be strong enough to do the business, but Voeckler and Kessiakov will have plenty of points to fight for earlier in the stage. Again expect Euskatel to be prominent, they have to be in the Pyrenees, they are in this for their lives with the threat of no sponsor next season. Yesterday Izaguirre got involved so perhaps Martinez might fancy it today. Tejay Van Garderen was allowed to go on and leave Big George doing the marshall job on a broken Cadel Evans yesterday, and he might have the free rein today to put in a big one and secure the white jersey, with only one challenger as well, Thibault Pinot who, it has been suggested, may well have a pop, Tejay is already streets ahead in ability. So 3 bets for me today.

NIBALI win @ 6/1 Paddy Power + Coral
VAN GARDEREN @ 66/1 Sportingbet
MARTINEZ, Egoi @ 100/1 Bet365, Paddy Power and William Hill.

Good Luck and Happy Punting.
