TDF betting

Hello.

Every year I use to make some bets before the Tour starts.
Most often I make bets regarding the general classification, and it adds an extra spice to the race!:)

What you guys think of these head to heads? Which rider will come out on top of the other in the general classification? Any clear favorites here?

Janez Brajkovic - Levi Leipheimer
Andreas Klöden - Chris Horner
Rein Taaramäe - Jean-Christophe Peraud
Jurgen Van Den Broeck - Samuel Sanchez
Peter Velits - Ryder Hesjedal
Rein Taaramäe - Tejay Van Garderen
Chris Anker Sørensen - Jakob Fuglsang
Sandy Casar - Kevin de Weert
Wouter Poels - Pierre Rolland
John Gadret - Roman Kreuziger
Ivan Basso - Bradley Wiggins
Cadel Evans - Robert Gesink
Bradley Wiggins - Alexandre Vinokourov
Alberto Contador - Andy Schleck
Alberto Contador - Rest of the Field
Vladimir Karpets - Jerome Coppel
Cadel Evans - Samuel Sanchez
Bauke Mollema - Tom Danielson
Christian Vandevelde - Tony Martin
Damiano Cunego - Nicholas Roche
Ivan Basso - Frank Schleck

Wrong forum but theres only 1 I would go 100% for, and thats Cunego > Roche.
 
Thanx:)

So you think Cunego is big favourite against Roche?

Is was looking at Danielson-Mollema, where Mollema was odds on favourite. Is Danielson going for GC, or is it Vandevelde?

I see Tony Martin 8/1 for a top 10 finish - surely thats worth a go?

Also has Matt Goss got any chance at the Green Jersey? The 1st week appears to suit him more than Cavendish and at 40/1 you cant do much harm.

His main problem is that he's going to be working for Cav on a lot of stages if he was racing for himself it would be a totally different scenario.

Mollema's working for Gesink, he's said himself he's not riding for GC.

Plus, the yearly Garmin top 10 "surprise"? Danielson's in some hot form...
