A serious load of cycling coming our way although due to Corona Virus the Amstel Gold next week looks in doubt

The Giro starts this weekend and that means 3 weeks of cycling betting and there are also plenty of excellent 1 day races on the card as cycling look to fit an entire season into 3 months (good on them)
Today though is Fleche Wallonne a race that finishes on the beastly Mur de Huy - just 1.3km but at an average of 9.6% and some very steep parts.
The course looks like one for attackers to get into breaks but so few rides are capable of finishing a spring up the Mur that the favourites teams normally ensure everyone is together at the bottom of the climb - so this is actually quite a predictable race (cue the breakaway to stick today)
Alaphilippe is taking a well deserved rest after winning the Worlds and there is also no Valverde this year
Hirschi 15/4 tops the boards with Kwia, Pogacar and Woods all at 6/1
Bets to follow

Fleche Wallonne Bets
0.5u Pogacar win 7/1 WSB - he will surely fade at some point but still looked fresh at the worlds and I expect him to go early on the Mur
0.25u e/w Porte 40/1,10/1 Sunbet - came out of the tour strong and can capitalise on that form
1u Double Pogacar/Woods x Porte/Landa at 4/1

Not getting too involved early and while I am keen to take Thomas on there are question marks over everyone and I am taking a watching brief on the long terms for the most part
At his peak which given his age has likely past this route looks perfect for Nibali and I am going to have a nibble on him winning
1u Nibali win 10/1 WSB
as for stage 1 it is a short ITT and mainly downhill so we should see crazy speeds - the fav looks hard to beat but I can't resist a nibble on TDG
0.25u TDG podium 40/1 Sunbet
May look for an in running interest

Summary after Stage 1:
Long Term Invested 1 unit
Stage Balance -2,25 units
Going for a cycle tomorrow morning so better get my L-B-L bets down
This is always an exciting race and we could get a reduced sprint, a medium range attack or a late attack
Roglic looked tired last week but still came 6th at the Worlds - he didn't race midweek and while there is a chance his form is in decline if he has recovered he has a big chance
1u Roglic win at 16/1
Will also look for in-running options and will post Giro stage 3 bets tomorrow

A strange day for me yesterday with Matthews costing big in the Giro but then Roglic ensuring a great day in the most dramatic way in LBL
An 18 unit profit in LBL with my in play double arriving thanks to ALA relegation but Giro not look so good and I am off to my typical slow GT start
Summary after Stage 2
Long Term Invested: 1 unit
Stage: -8.25u
Stage 3 could be a great classification battle but I think it is more likely a breakaway that wins
0.25u on
Pedrero 200/1 WSB,
Bouchard 66/1 Sunbet
Guerreiro 40/1 Sunbet
Valter 40/1 Sunbet
and if it is GC 0.5u Fugslang win at 7/1 Sunbet

I've no television coverage so could be wide of the mark here but I believe Thomas de Gendt was in the break yesterday and it was caught early enough and he came in 7 mins down, perhaps he will have another go on Stage 3? 22/1 or so, he carry's my hopes. Will follow Brent with Fuglsang in case it comes down to GC.

I agree this is seriously wide open and with no team seemingly strong enough to control a massive upset won the likes of Oscar Pereiro in the TDF 2006 is possible
A rider I think was a big winner yesterday was Kruijswijk - lost a bit of time but 1st big test after injury and will only get stronger
Summary after Stage 3
Long Term Invested: 1 unit
Stage: -9.75u

Ok so we know this is going to be a very different GT with little control. I suspect that we are going to see many a break stick especially on the hilly stages. The teams of the leaders will control early to make sure no one dangerous goes in the break and then will lack the firepower to bring it back.
I am thinking there must be some value in the team classification. DQS lead and are 2/1 favs (I was eyeing them out when they were around 6/1 but now want to beat them) - they have the pink jersey who is also the firm fav for White and I think defending those will be priority.
I am looking for a team with decent climbers who will be hunting stages and have settled on Mitchelton Scott at 9/1 - they are 07:43 back after dropping back for Yates yesterday but on paper have a strong team (relatively) who assuming Yates challenge falls away completely will be able to focus on stages and that could bring them into contention by default. Once there they will probably defend/go for it
Of course plenty can go wrong (perhaps Yates abandons) but I am having a go at the 9/1
1u MS team comp at 9/1 at WSB

Todays stage looks really tricky - the break should be kept in check but will Bora and Sunweb push the climb to get rid for the pure sprinters? They both have men perhaps in better GC position than they expected but at the same time they are largely here for Sagan and Matthews
If the sprinters are dropped but not by more than a couple of minutes we could have a thrilling pursuit over the last 40km
I am going with Matthews today
0.5u win at 11/2 Sunbet
1u Top 3 at 14/10 Sunbet

October has way too many family commitments which means I have not seen enough Giro to realistically splash the money but what the heck.
GC seems wide open and I like the looks of Kelderman. Best time trialist of the contenders and there are still two to go and able to stay on steep climbs ( 4th at 2017 Vuelta ). Agree with Brent's logic on the team comp. Can't see Thomas starting today so Ineos will be looking elsewhere and the odds are certainly longer then expected for a team only 5min behind.

Nice one on Demare yesterday Chris. I tried him in play around 3km before the top of the climb but he had shortened to 5/4 so gave it a miss.

Looking for the break today so three initial darts on

We have the DBP one day race in Belgium today. Really difficult to see any rider other than van der Poel or Alaphilippe win. The course is not that different to Le Tour stage 19 where this chap came second so he is carrying some form and can't really get hurt at these odds

Marginally miffed about yesterday's in-play punt. Felt it had to be one of the Ineos riders and lost the 50/50 punt. Not sure Bora will hammer today so break may stay. My dart odds are so long that I am taking them all for place only.

Took Rubio 33/1 & TdG 20/1 in running just as they launched and was pretty much counting my money when they caught and initially dropped the rest. With Nibali cruising for the last 20meters I also lost a big matchplay bet and am now rock bottom.
Have taken a bit of Sagan and might actually go all in (ito my cycling budget) in-running if the break looks doomed. I really feel Pete is getting his top legs back and he will want to pay back the team for all their efforts on his behalf of late.
Come on Sagan son!!

Long Term Invested: 2.5 unit
Stage: -12.75u

Dry Giro run continues and really annoyed that De Gendt didn't get it - that bloody Movistar rider annoyed him so much he decided to make a point of not letting him win the stage
I did lay Conci at 2/1 through my good mate Coil and really wish I was a bookie in this TDF
Today I am with you Couch - won't be easy to control but Sagan all the way - I fear a late attack more than the break which I think will be reeled in
Waiting for in running prices so no on yet

Third time in a Grand Tour this season that Bora cost me money with a dumb tactic and simultaneously stab themselves in the foot.
Giro Stage 7
No luck on out rights so a match bet double
Vendrame/Matthews into
Hodeg/Barbier

No pretty way to put it - Getting a good arse-whipping from the books on the Giro. Fate decided to select Vendrame from my match bet yesterday for a starring role in the crash at 40km to go so he staggered in around 70th.
Taking two guys up front and taking the Majka match bet - padded out - as I expect him to assist with chasing the break before Sagan embarrasses himself once again.

Likewise Brent. Not sure how much your 1/4 unit is but Haig's odds plummeted to 9/1 so I skipped it. Joined you on the double and threw in the WvA/ Ulissi double at the same price.

Summary after Stage 9
Long Term Invested: 3u
Stage: -14.25u
Lay: +2.5
I have not been getting too involved but small losses are starting to add up. Not the most inspiring Giro so far and as exciting as not having a controlling team may turn out to be it has meant that the break have not really been chased hard in most stages.
Tomorrows stage could be far better than it looks at first glance - plenty of short steep ramps and I have found these to be better for exciting racing than a summit finish - if one of the key GC men shows signs of weakness this race should explode.
It should be too late to catch the break though and here are my darts for tomorrow
0.5u Ullissi 10/1 - short price but can win from break or reduced sprint
0.5u Narvaez 18/1 - should be well suited and I think Ineos pick for the stage (also like Swift but 20/1 a bit short)
0.5u - Vendrame at 33/1 - stage should suit if he can find top form
0.25u Tangert at 661
0.25u Pardun at 80./1
edit: 0.25u Bouchaard at150/1
I am determined to have at least 1 rider in the break
1 match bet
2u Keldermann/Almeida at 7/10 - I think Sunweb may put the pink jersey in difficulty tomorrow
Long Term Invested: 3u
Stage: -14.25u
Lay: +2.5

Ive gone for Sagan at 22/1 just a touch too big imo; I see him and Matthews as the men to beat!

Will be interesting to see if he tries to make the break - his main challenge could be FDJ making it difficult for him - agree at 22/1 he starts getting tempting

More than a little frustration in today's punts
Giro Stage 10
Win
Villella @ 40/1
Edet @ 125/1

Puccio @ 24/1
Bais @ 64/1
Whelan @ 64/1
Frapprti @ 80/1
Never know what can happen after a rest day but I think Sagan 15/10 against Matthews is too long so taking the double as my main bet

Well that punt did not last - Matthews being positive. Looks like several positives with MS pulling out of the Giro. Kruijswijk also positive and lots of back room staff. It's been a while since I made really nice out rights on a Grand Tour and I fancied my two tickets here - Kelderman @ 11/2 and Ineos @ 20/1 in the team. Looks like Covid is going to rob me - bastardio

Great stage yesterday but a bad punting day in a Giro that has been a disaster for me
Summary after Stage 10
Long Term Invested: 3u (2.5u of which were on MS and Haig)
Stage: -20u
Lay: -2.5
After a great end to the TDF and the Roglic win I don't want to give it all back so am going to scale back a bit and perhaps take a couple of days off

One of the best GT stages yesterday and nice pick there kc. Giro punting has been a disaster but hoping I may be turning the corner with Edet and Villella in the final break yesterday.
Today is a flat sprint stage but run-in looks tricky. May be difficult for sprinters to stay with lead-outs so I am banking on a lead out rider looking for his sprinter and getting pipped by a small team sprinter. Can't see a break staying today so just one dart at huge odds
Giro Stage 11
e/w
Pellaud @ 600/1
Match bet
Fiorelli/Ballerini @ 16/10

0.5u Swift 14/1 WSB - expect him to make the break and could well have a team mate to work for him - if Sagan is there at the end I would be in trouble though
Addng
0.25u Vendrame at 40/1 WSB - got in an unsuccessful break on Tuesday and hoping he makes the right one this time

Made the match bet yesterday. Does not plug much of the hole but one feels a little better. Hard to see past the break today so will join Brent and most of the cycling world on Swift and throw in a few each ways.
Giro Stage 12
Win
Swift @ 10/1 (Certainly carrying a lot of money today is our Ben - best odds I could find)
e/w
Pellaud @ 125/1
Rubio @ 150/1
Malecki @ 300/1
