Any views on Tiralongo over Niemiec @ 2.66 for tomorrow?

Niemiec is obviously the better TTer, with Tiralongo being somewhat of a Purito in this discipline. Tiralongo sucked in TTs even when he finished in the top 10 of the Vuelta.

But... Astana really wants the team classification, so Martinelli is likely to tell his top boys to ride hard tomorrow. Niemiec has no reason to put in an effort, as Scarponi will need him over the next days. Value?

I had the same thought, but Niemiec reconed the course yesterday, I don't know why he should do it if the isn't interested in a good result at all (besides giving Scarponi some company)

on the other side: Tiralongo should be the third man for Astanas team classification hopes behind Kreuziger and Petrov.

they were so flat in the first half.

Buddy has kicked 7 first goals this season. Safe bet maybe

Happy to see him back as much to win money on him. Stupid idiots on Betfair who gave odds of 34 and 36...

I had put a bit on him, and then last minute I decided to put more on mollema. So I only won a couple hundred.

still good

a couple hundred.
not to bad.

It was my first bet since giro.. which didn't go well, nor did the ardnnes and cobbles.

before then I actually really cleaned up in the warm up races (Oman, Qatar, Omloop etc).

Overall it has been a very good season in terms of bets. Last year was a disaster

Sportingbet had Soler at 41 early on before slashing to 21 (got a bit myself), so perhaps the sellers were not that big idiots afterall..

BACK Ivan Basso to win the Tour de France @55

also LAY Alberto Contador to win the Tour de France @1.71


i love the ante post stuff.
highlight for me was backing Ricardo Ricco @ 300 to win TdF in 2008 then laying off all my bet @ 13 (making about 80£) and so when he got kicked out and I was out of the game.

 

[Tuarts]

Basso is @34 on bet365, same as Wiggins

Horner @101
Cunego @151

[seaby71]

hey everyone,
who do you guys will think higher on the GC sammy sanchez or cadel evans?
any thoughts would be most appreciated!

 

[Ferminal]

Sanchez, but there's no way I would touch that bet or any between Sanchez/Evans/Basso/Gesink/Van den Broeck.

 

[Midnightfright]

Sanchez, but there's no way I would touch that bet or any between Sanchez/Evans/Basso/Gesink/Van den Broeck.

Nothing too sizable anyway , I may put on a couple of head to heads purely as interest bets

 

[Met de Versnelling]

Sanchez, but there's no way I would touch that bet or any between Sanchez/Evans/Basso/Gesink/Van den Broeck.

I'm with this, it's genuinely too close to call between that bunch really, an off day here or there and it'll change wildly. We could have a Bola del Mundo type situation all over again going into the last mountain stage, that'd be good tbh.

But yeah, i'm avoiding that like the plague. Got a bit on Basso to win without big 2, but that's more of a fanboy bet then anything else.
