According to chatGPT here is the pre-race favorites list for 2023 Giro. 📊 Pre-Race Odds Summary Rider Odds (Fractional) Sampling Sites Remco Evenepoel 8/11 even-money favorite Primož Roglič 2/1 strong challenger Geraint Thomas 10/1 seasoned podium contender Tao Geoghegan Hart 11/1...

Odds to make top 3 in Paris after stage 7: Pogachar 1 to 20 Vingegaard 1 to 14 Remco 1 to 2 Jorgenson 5 to 2 Lipowitz 9 to 2 Gall 11 to 2 Roglic 10 to 1 Mas 11 to 1 Vauquelin 14 to 1

Amazing thing to me is he won the Vuelta at age 42. (deepseek says 41 years and 327 days). Some think of Roglic as now being over the hill and yet Horner was 7 years older when he won his GT.

Oddsmakers have Remco as the overwhelming favorite tomorrow. Interesting that Vingegaard is projected as second. Maybe the Dauphine TT still fresh in everyones mind?

Remco says "We fell asleep a bit." Not sure why you wouldn't be ready on Stage 1 of the TDF. We fell asleep a bit

"soft peddling ... absolutely doing nothing." Isn't that what he has been doing for the last several years? that and collecting big checks of course.

Yes ... Pogi is back to be the overwhelming favorite. Almeida's odds fell a little from 18 to 1 to 16 to 1 (probably UAE related) and Lipowitz also fell from 50 to 1 to 33 to 1.

No doubt Pogi broke out "the good stuff" for todays race. Let's hope (for the sake of competitiveness) that Vine had a bad day like Pogi had one yesterday. Probably not, but we can at least hope.

I think what it says is as of today, this is what the betting public predicts will happen. (With some fanboys betting on their guy and other gamblers trying to make money with no preference who actually wins.) My guess is the market would be considered fairly "efficient" at this juncture. A...

Tour odds as of today. Pog's have dropped since the start of the Dauphine, but is still the slight favorite. Vingegaards has risen. Roglic is 25 to 1 (~4% to win), Lipowitz is 50 to 1 (~2% to win). BTW, Simon Yates odds before the Giro were 35 to 1 ... so it does happen.

Sounds like the UCI wants a bigger "donation" from OneCycling.

I found this recent article. Sounds like he is a good place mentally. Where's Sepp? Kuss Under Pressure to Step Up in Alps in Tour de France Dress Rehearsal

So what did people think of Kuss' time trial? Seemed pretty good to me, or at least a lot better. Back to 2023 form?

I, for one, am glad to see Vingegaard results today. It was kind of boring with only Pogacar riding on "the very best stuff." Hopefully it makes for a competitive and exciting July.

Could it be he can't get off the gear or it will show up on the biological passport?
