Cycling : La Vuelta Espana

Final meaningful stage of a Grand Tour for the year. Brent's 25/1 on Gilbert about the best we have done. I think Astana make this stage as hard as possible to try and get Lopez on the podium so don't hold out much hope for the break, but it is the last stage so taking a few
Higuita @ 16/1
Teuns @ 39/1
Rodriguez @ 51/1
De Gendt @ 129/1
King @ 149/1
Gilbert @ 239/1
Like the look of Brent's double. O Connor was in the break yesterday so hopefully King's legs a little fresher today
Match bet treble
Lopez/Majka - Pogacar/Quintana - King/O Connor @ 44/10

Cycling year coming to an end shortly (I'll be sad pocket will be happy!)

Today have Majka @ 25/1 and Nieve @ 30/1

But my final big play comes in the matchups.

Majka over Nairo onto Tao GH over Poels onto Soler over Fuglsang @ 7/4

Lopez over Valverde @ 8/10

Early in play - 178km to go
Geurreiro @ 7/2

Nice treble from Couch yesterday - Congrats. Forecast to bucket down this evening which means city streets become skid pans and anything can happen. Took that 1 sec margin @ 8/1 based on forecast conditions so with Brent there. One for me
1-3
Sarreau @ 7/1
Will be shouting home Bennett for 2.5 stages which looks like the only outright still standing (Sadly I did not follow on it)

Thanks Vann - was nervously checking the final stage results to confirm that Soler had in fact Beaten Fuglsang up the hill. Thank goodness he did!

Still only a slight profit on the stage and does nothing to the damage done over three weeks! Really need the Bennett win for the outright so was still undecided as I was contemplating a big strike on Sam for the stage as well to really make it one big Irish hail-mary to try and save my GT. (As a nice extra kick in the teeth I went through my Sunbet account this morning to see that I had taken Pogacar to win the points comp - needless to say the bugger ends SECOND).

The rain news from Vann as well as the price on my sprinter has me sufficiently cautious to only add the odd multiple with a few cricket bets for the day. But will of course still be cheering him home.

Thanks for all the chat and picks gents. And well done if you lads managed to make some money

Sadly the last Grand Tour of the season is history. Lost all three out rights by stage 6 and finished with 18 stages paid for ( Mostly courtesy of Brent's Gilbert @ 25/1 ) Cannot believe Couch's 2.5 stage out right lost by 10mm on stage 4 and around 20 cm on stage 21. Was enjoyable chaps and hope to see you all in May next year for the Giro. Going to have to brush up on my rugby over the next month or so.
