Weather predicted to be appalling so I think the break forms by the cat 2 but then could thin out further on the long descent. Only youngsters will risk life and limb in the expected conditions so 3 from the white jersey comp.

Vann what do you think of that 6/1 winning margin more than a second? If a break stays clear I could see a late attack with everybody looking at each other

There is talk of the route being altered because of the weather. This can only mean shorter and less riskier which is not good for the bet.
I have taken 0.5 unit on it and hoping they carry the bet live again which means we get the latest info from the commentators re the route.

Yesterday's break was too small for comfort so I avoided adding to that 1sec bet. Only just missed though. Would have been nice for the team bet if the peloton sat up and let Cort go.
After the bad weather and the flu/covid running through the peloton we now hit the longest stage of the Giro. I would be surprised if more then two riders look for the break. Has to be a bunch sprint finish which is bad news as the finish looks decidedly sketchy. Another gift from the idiots at UCI.

A few beers
e/w
Milan @ 9/2 And just hope everyone makes it to the finish safely.

One day behind you. See Cattaneo is out today with two team mates. Van Wilder probably not long for the Giro either.

I placed a big unit on Kamna for top 3 overall at 13 just because he had covid recently. Can't understand how he's at the same odds as Vine who's 12 minutes behind. Nothing so far today will tweet if I see who DSM goes for cause it will favor some matchup

The near misses train rumbles on. My 100/1 podium on Tonelli misses by one.

Stage 13
Snow means the tunnel and not the top of the first climb. At the moment the teams have asked for the second climb to be removed because of the dangerous descent. A day for match bets in the GC but with all the uncertainty I'm skipping them.
Win
Roglic @ 3/1

Thomas podium today at 4/1 - reckon its better value than 2/1 Roglic for the win as Thomas likely to follow him home

Thanks guys. Finally one for the punters after a series of near misses.

Stage 14
Once again we cannot be sure the whole stage runs today. Photo's from last night of the climb look scary. Stage 15 looks much more like a break stage then today so I am going fewer break volunteers and they get caught.

I think my team bet has been checked into frail care. Three riders down and Cort not well. Team betting has Bahrain at 11/20. Anyone betting cycling knows this is too short specially with Haig limping along. Three mountain top finishes/a mountain ITT and two sprint stages next week. Going to hope INEOS don't lose too much time today. They will certainly make up chunks next week.

Team Comp
INEOS @ 13/2

Stage 15
Could be close for the break as FDJ will want Pinot to collect mountain points today and he is too close to the lead to let run free. A few from the break but will probably cover with Roglic in-play if they do not get enough time.

My Sunday theory. Healy should win easy by riding away near the end. Problem is - he is contesting KOM with Rubio so I think McNulty will be fresher and able to mark his moves. McNulty does not have to ride away as he beats Healy in sprint any day of the week.

Winning margin
Under 10sec @ 5/4 (Sunnies)

Leknessund/Armirail 1/9
Kamna/Rubio 9/10
Pinot/A Peret-Peinmtre

On reflection I should have just done it without the 1/9 shot - we all know which one will drop me now LOL

Also 4 units Kamna over Rubio at 9/10

Rubio will try to get in break, even if allowed I think there will be late action and all but the stage winner will come back

First venture into match bets was a success although it was a sweat as main bet Kamna dropped off before Rubio however there was one shot of Kamna coming back which gave me hope and in the end he crossed in front.

Todays stage should be a cracker and Vann I have not given up hope of Ineos winning the team comp although still 24 min behind

Yesterday they put nearly 10 minutes in and my hope today is that Jumbo dictate the stage and the 3 Ineos riders can save energy. I am also hoping Bahrain get into the break which is caught and implodes - just need 1 of their 3 climbers to have a reall bad day to get within striking distance in the ITT

I am looking at Kamna in a match bet today but one where is a 5/2 dog

He is up against Caruso and I think the 5/2 is big
Caruso finished 6 seconds ahead of him yesterday but Kamna was closing and todays stage is tougher, Caruso is an aggressive rider and I can see him attacking meaning he could blow up whereas Kamna is unlikely to expose himself too early

3 units Kamna at 5/2

Excellent on the match bets Brent. Have been under the weather so did not get too involved yesterday.

Stage 19
Also hold that 5/2 Kamna ticket - just think the odds are too good to swerve.
I think the KOM comp will kill any break chances today. GC will not allow Pinot to ride away and FDJ ditto with Healy. This means GC where I would fancy Roglic.

Taking some Roglic @ 9/4
