i see small value in Visconti over Avermaet @2.20

 

[Damiano]

Odds on Bet365, Paddy and Pinnacle. Anyone found something? I've got Fuglsang over Sinkewitz @ 1,69 at Pinny.

... and Meyer over Phinney @ 2,40 at Sportingbet.

Tour of Oman st 4 - Paddypower

P Sinkewitz v C Vandevelde
C Vandevelde @ 2.00

A Vinokourov v D Blanco
D Blanco @ 2.25

Reasons that Sinkewitz was in long small break on a windy day so will be tired tomorow, and I don't think Vino is in good condition from some reports I have read.

Sinkewitz stronger than I thought he would be, but VDV even stronger! Vino as weak as I thought, but Blanco even worse. Evens for the day.

I'm sitting still on EBH @ 17 for overall, but have hedged my bets and taken Gesink overall at 3.25 with b365 and VDV EW overall @ 31 with Paddypower (seems value EW?).

I've also gone for a small amount on Cam Meyer for the stage at 16 with B365. There could be some more value in this market. Good luck

Pretty sick that they still have the ew on VDV, huge value indeed.

BTW, SkyBet have a book open on the Track World Cup in Manc'land, and you can watch live on the BBC website (if you are UK only I think) - slightly better coverage than today's Tour of Oman coverage via twitter.

2.70 for Fugslang vs Monfort is a lot, worth a shot

I seriously doubt Fuglsang will win that match up more than 37 % of the time when he couldn't even beat Monfort in the climb

Maybe I'm reading too much into Fuglsang's tweet (and the wink) yesterday, but I like this bet too:

"Auch...that was a hard finish today. felt really good until the last 2k where my legs just stopped cooperating with me...new day 2morrow ;-)"

Lost by just 11 seconds, was worth trying imo

St6 H2h @b365:
Domenique Rollin @ 1.71 vs Vaitkus
Why?
from Vaitkus' Twitter:
@grahamwatson10 next wheelie tomorrow in last 20m DD

From GW:
@tomasvaitkus ok my friend, I'll be waiting for it..!

 

[VinoRoche]

Hope he is serious. Rollin on 1.71 at Pinnacle right now.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

i have

EBH @ 17 - amazing odds for him imo.
goss @ 9

 

[Met de Versnelling]

Right, favourite for the Omloop according to the bookies is Boonen, at around 4's, but:

http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/boonen-says-omloop-het-nieuwsblad-victory-not-a-priority

So start laying against him, and pick up some of the riders like Gilbert and EBH while they're still good prices (Gilbert & EBH at 7, Pozzato @ 14 is interesting me alot)

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

omloop i have;

Boom @23
Terpstra @ 51
Van Avermaet @51
Devolder @26

 

[Damiano]

Kuurne Brussels Kuurne
Farrar - Greipel, 1 @ 2,00

Did I miss something?

Farrar's mentioned about targeting some semi-classics late last year didn't he? In which case makes those odd's even stranger. Where they from, i want some of that?

Sorry, forgot to mention. They're from Unibet.

 

[Ferminal]

So far I've got EBH @ 8.00 and Leukemans @ 40.00, I'll try and decide on one more of the bigger favourites to back.

Cheers mate

I ended up putting a bet on langeveld also, good day

@51

You lucky sod!

Bad day for me really, lost out heavily on the rugby and football. No money left spare for KBK tomorrow

 

[gizzajob]

Odds are up at several bookmakers for Paris-Nice including a large range of odds at B365 including H2Hs for overall and stage 1.
I've had a small dabble at Kierlovski each-way @101 and Van Den Broeck @26

 

[Squire]

I've put a few £ on the overall for PN, and gone with these:

Rolland over Le Mevel @ 1.85
Hesjedal over Sagan @ 2.70
LL Sanchez overall winner @ 7.50

And a cheeky one for Vino podium @ 7
I know he's officially going for stage wins, but hey, it's Vino.

Will stick to one h2h per stage. Tomorrow I have C.Pineau over Izagirre @2.10

 

[bohino11]

Squire, Just wondering where you got the podium betting for vino? i wouldnt fancy vino because of what astana have said but would have a few other fancys. tony martin is a standout for me at 3/1 with paddypower for the win. tt gonna be very important

 

[Squire]

Got it on SportingBet. Didn't put much on, but Vino is not one to soft-pedal no matter what his goals are.

For the overall, I'm thinking that Martin will lose more to Sanchez on stage 5 than he will gain in the TT. That is of course assuming Sanchez is in his usual Paris-Nice shape. With odds of 3.25 vs 7.50, I find good value in the Spaniard.
But Martin looks to have some serious form going, and will of course be the favourite.
