Re: Re:
Anyway, I suppose he is unlikely to win the stage, but it was a bit odd. Thought I might have missed some kind of crash or other incident for him not to be grouped with all the other GC guys, but I guess not.

Seems a bit strange that Contador wouldn't be as well, even if it seems as though he doesn't do stage wins these days.infeXio said:DFA123 said:Is there a reason I've missed why Contador is at longer odds than Steve Cummings to win the stage tomorrow? He didn't get caught up in one of the crashes today did he?
Bookmakers expect Cummings to get in a breakaway, and if he does and it stays away, expect him to win.
Though, I do find a victory for Contador highly improbable as well
Agreed. Froome and Porte having shorter odds I can certainly understand, but the likes of Bardet? Baffling - at this stage of the race anyway.
