Vuelta a Espana 2023 was created by The Vann
The final Grand Tour starts on 26 August and we have a stellar field. The route is mostly in the north of Spain so expect a warm race. There are 8 mountain top finishes with only one flat 25km ITT. The first stage is a 14.6km TTT.
OUTRIGHTS
Not going large here as we already have the first w/d because of a positive Covid test - Thijssen of Wanty.
There are comfortably over 6 breakaway stages so I am interested in the - To win a stage market.
My three picks are Zana - 3rd and 1st from breakaways at the Giro this year and Battistella - two 2nds and a 6th from breakaways in last years Vuelta and Denz who is a multiple break maker in Grand Tours.
None of my books are offering Battistella so no bet. I see he is 7/2 in the free market countries. I would take this.
Zana is 5/2 which is a little short so I am taking the bet as follows
Any rider to win a stage from team Jayco Alula - Yes @ 2/1
To win a stage Denz Yes @ 9/2
On the various jersey markets I am leaning Almeida podium. Currently 9/2 but I think it may go out after the TTT as he could lose 30+ seconds on day one. Would like to see something longer then 5/1

Looking forward to this race and will be writing previews for the WSB Blog which we also carry on GFTG
Outright Preview
Stage 1 TTT
Take the Roglic outright with a pinch of salt for now - it is a small play as I am looking to take Vingegaard on
As for todays stage with some rain about it could a lottery and I have gone with 0.25 units on EF and Bora at 66/1

Stage 1
Agree with Brent. Not sure this is a big power course and a little rain would level the playing field.
To win
Jumbo/Ineos or any other Not placed. Several teams more then I saw originally.
Also a double on teams with close starting slots
Jumbo/Ineos into Soudal Quick Step/UAE 23/10
Have taken
e/w
EF Education @ 66/1 as they start earliest of the teams with some chance

Start with a little nest egg thanks to the 8/1 place by under 1 second yesterday.
Stage 2
Agree with Brent's write up re GC finish and the castle climb too hard for Coquard and his fellow sprinters. Van den Berg may just get there in which case he wins but I'm going with Remco on the basis he beat my in-play Bilbao bet in a straight sprint in San Sebastian
Win
Evenepoel @ 8/1

Nice one Vann!
Lads I just dont see how Remco can beat Primoz in a sprint - Roglic is the master at the uphill explosive effort. Usually too short but reckon as its the 2nd stage and break should have no shot I will take the 9/4.
Also a little nibble on Buitrago at 33/1 just in case.

Great win from Remco but how about the crash at the end? That could of been alot worse
I have persuaded WSB to introduce the Money back for 2nd promo and so today Groves at 11/10 is the play
Far from a straight forward sprint stage though

Stage 4
A large chunk of winning at the top level is about mental toughness and an absolute refusal to accept defeat. The "Little Bastard" as Thomas laughingly refers to him has this in spades. Todays finish looks like a sharp bend 500m out followed by a rise around 5% then flat to the line. I see no reason why Casper Pedersen can't give him a 30-50m lead and drop him off 150m or so from the line. Will he try? Bet your socks he will
e/w 1-3

Nice pick Groves Brent. Disappointed that Remco did not have a dig. Maybe not fully recovered from crash. Today is a wide open road finish so has to be sprinters only.
Stage 5
Should really lump the lot on Groves but, in cycling, the lot is not much dosh so going
e/w
Dainese @ 8/1 Was nowhere in sight yesterday but is better on the wide finishes

Cheers Vann, I think that technical finish also could of put Remco off
I like Groves again today at 1/1 at WSB as make him a top 2 banker if there is a sprint
I think the break has a small chance today though and have nibbled on
Godon at 100/1
and Bissegger at 150/1 (may get in break if Van Den Berg not 100% after crash)
Reason I think break has a chance is EF may not work and Groves team must have some tired riders after yesterday

Groves does the business but was smalls on him so basically a square stage
There should be a strong break today and I reckon it sticks
Backed Kamna at 10/1 and also taking some 18/1 he wins the KOM

Nice Brent. I should take a break with my Jayco long term tanking yesterday when Dunbar fell in the friggen neutral zone and Zana departed with the runs (Same happened to my Zampa cricket bet yesterday). Besides everything turning into crap my main bet - the 1-3 sees Dainese finish 4th. Go figure

Interesting stage yesterday
I took 14/1 Remco in running and the bugger does all the work and comes 2nd claiming he didn't know the sprint was for the stage win
Was very impressed the way he rode that final climb keeping the 3 JV and UAE riders in check
Today is the day Egan Bernal returns and I have taken 40/1 and 25/1 Lazkano (was 66/1 when I wrote preview but moved straight away across all books so had nothing to do with the preview and Bernal was not quoted)

Not sure why Jumbo rode down the break. Only ended up giving Evenepoel a few bonus seconds over Kuss and Vingegaard. Would still have taken red if they allowed the break to stick.

Sticking with my first week favorites for the last stage before the rest day.

The 40/1 place on Sunday meant we virtually broke even on the first week.
Stage 10
Always difficult to know who will ride 100% in the ITT. I know Caruso is probably looking at KOM but his team lie just over four minutes back in the team comp so hoping he gives it gas today.
Match bet double
Caruso/Kamna - Ayuso/Almeida @ 11/4 (Site switched to decimals when placing. Odds are 7/4)

I like Lotto Dstny and they need the points but I was not a Kron fan over the last 100m yesterday. Thankfully one of my picks scraped in.
Stage 12
As far as I can determine there is no sharp bend in the last km. I do fancy this guy has a stage win in him but he just loses half a dozen places around any bend on the run in so maybe today's finish will suit.

Dainese @ 10/1

Poor day for me across all sports yesterday.
Stage 13
Normally the kind of stage I would take a run at but it looks way too much like Jumbo will decide who will win the stage. In a straight race Vingegaard wins today but they will take Kuss and Roglic before him if they are ahead of the main GC guys. Reminds me of the Williams sisters in tennis. Their father decided who would win the tournament.
Going for a double hoping that if Poels makes the break then so does Thomas.
Thomas/Poels - Roglic/Ayuso @ 5/2
and the only rider I think capable of crashing the Jumbo party
1-3
Almeida @ 6/1

Not enjoying the Vuelta this year. I don't like the comms but worse is the dominance of 1 team. The best riders in the word should be racing each other not racing with each other
Will still have a couple of punts though
Hirt at 33/1
Bernal; at 40/1

Agree it is disappointing having one team dominate. No idea what happened to Almeida yesterday but his problem started on the very first climb so must be slightly under the weather.

Another close shave yesterday with the Castroveijo place at 35/1 missing by one.

Lumpy bumpy and probably a little too difficult for the pure sprinters with the Cat 2 at the end so taking a few darts on the break

Vuelta Rest Day
Strangely there are two markets which interest me today.
Jumbo via Seb have confirmed that he will win if he can stay the distance. He has always made it clear he is not a GC Leader so can he hang on for a week in the mountains? I think the legs may but the brain will decline and Jumbo will have to go with Vingegaard. The other mental problem is Remco who will pull if he cannot compete hence the loss of 25odd minutes on one stage. With no chance of winning I expect him to race to the KOM jersey and make big in roads into the Top 10 times.
Win the Vuelta
Vingegaard @ 10/3
Finish Top 10
Evenepoel @ 5/1

Stage 16
With the stage being short I am not sure there is enough road for the break to build a big enough lead to win. Hoping that Jumbo will wish to save as much energy as possible for tomorrows stage which could see attacks on Kuss thereby giving today's break a realistic chance. Very similar profile to stage 11 so sticking with

Gregoire @ 22/1
Herrada @ 25/1
Have loaded this match bet double coupon but am unsure so will decide at very last minute. May only go a beer or so
Vingegaard/Kuss - Almeida/Soler @ 9/4

Massive pressure on Jumbo to engineer a Kuss win. I just do not believe he has the mental fortitude to win a Grand Tour. On one of the next few stages Mas and/or Ayuso are heading up the road and Jumbo will have to follow. I live in hope. Poor read on the Evenepoel objectives though.
I also wonder if Groves is not spending way too much energy collecting points at the intermediate sprints. He runs out of gas and that Evenepoel outright could sneak in by default.
Stage 17
One for me today and it carry's a full cycling bet
Vlasov over Landa @ 16/10

No idea what happened to Vlasov yesterday. Was in form and on a climb he liked and then clutched. Weight of The Vann's money I presume.
Stage 18
Looks like the last stage for a solid strike but I find myself short on enthusiasm for this Vuelta so just a few beers for the day.

Taken a few beers - not on riders who looked good yesterday but more against a couple who looked cooked

Thanks. Groves lead out switched lines and collected back wheel of EF rider. Came down and took out Groves. Groves managed a quality dismount and landed on his feet so no harm done but could not participate in the sprint.

Roglic is 20/1 at Betx and I have just backed him - reckon Jumbo keep break on a leash and bring it back to placate Pimoz

Been a frustrating Vuelta with a few riders choosing not to ride to their potential for a variety of reasons. Could just imagine the the hullabaloo should Medvedev chuck a major semi in favor of his long time friend and godfather to one of his kids Rublev. Pity Raymand Poulidor was not riding today. Instead of being the eternal second riders would have been forced into gifting him a few tours. There should be no place in professional sport for "Gifting" wins to someone.

had hopes for a podium from this guy. He still has his full team here so maybe today
