Cycling w/c 31 July World Chanpionship and Other

Took some early Pedersen @ 12/1 for the World Road Race last week.

Tour of Poland Stage 3
Finish with one of those nasty little climbs today where position at the bottom will be crucial. INEOS usually good at that.

Win
Kwiatowski @ 11/2

Match bet double
Mohoric/Almeida - Tolhoek/Oomen @ 19/10

Presuming Majka is a good friend of Kwiatkowski because his sprint line certainly deprived Kwia of the win yesterday.

Stage 4
200Km of flat so just a sprinter for interest. Coming back from injury but looked swift enough on stage 1

Win
Kooij @ 2/1

Stage 5
Another 200km stage but this one has three climbs and finishes on a circuit with around 2km @ 4% to the line. With the ITT to come I think Mohoric needs the seconds on the line so leaning GC. Kwiatkowski has won on this finish before.

Win
Kwiatkowski @ 13/2
Godon @ 50/1

Pity the race was neutralized for a while in the last 5km. Allowed everyone back in.

Stage 6 ITT over 16.6km
Flat and not too tricky. Going with the world champ

Win
Foss @ 4/1

Double which looks pretty solid to me so carrying a few cycling units

Almeida/Cattaneo - Sobrero/Kamna @ 27/20

Taking a boost for the WC Road Race

Van Der Poel win @6/1

And also have Powless Podium @25/1 and Van Baarle Top10 @4/1 / Rota top 10 finish @9/1

Got clattered yesterday. Would not have picked Cattaneo in the top 5.

Small interest for the day

Stage 7
Gaviria @ 8/1
Ackermann @ 25/1

World Championship Men's Road Race

For my money the top one day racer today is Evenepoel and the best all-round cyclist is Pogacar. I often see pundits adding that it is difficult for van der Poel/van Aert to win because the group will let them do the most work to catch the break. This generally does not apply to Remco and Pogs because they are in the break. I am not able to seperate these two so going with both.

Placed my three win bets almost two weeks ago

Win
Pogacar @ 10/1
Evenepoel @ 12/1
Pedersen @ 12/1 (This is the pick from my Missus so has to be in)

Taken today Top 10
Healy @ 3/1
Nielands @ 8/1

Didn’t know Remco was 12/1 a couple weeks ago, that’s a huge price. I’ve taken 6/1 this am, best I could find.

Went down to the Sign on this morning at Arthur's Seat; chatted with Powless and Healy; great to see them all riding the same roads I do!

Not opening a new thread for one event

World Champs ITT

e/w
Tarling @ 25/1
1-3
Was caught by surprise with his ITT in Tour of Poland. Anything like that form could podium here
Cattaneo @ 7/2
