Vuelta Outrights
Red Jersey
Sky have not been clear ( What's new? ) on their outright leader and I think de la Cruz and Kwaitkowski will be protected in the first week to see how they go. I'm prepared to take a chance that Kwaitkowski will do enough for the team to keep him in contention deep into the tour. I know Pinot is not a great fan of the heat but all he has to do is stay in contention during the first week. The second and third weeks are expected to be cooler.
Podium
Pinot @ 4/1
Top 10
Kwaitkowski @ 7/2
Green Jersey
There are 6 sprint stages, 9 mountain stages and the ITT. Last year Froome won this jersey with 6 climbers in the top 7. The only sprinter being Trentin who was 2nd. If he stays on his bike and, as expected wins the ITT I have high hopes for this bet
Podium
Porte @ 15/4
Team
They will put riders in the break and can't get hurt at these odds
Astana @ 11/1
Will leave the mountains until Tuesday
Match bets/Exotics
Just one here
De Gendt to win over 0.5 stages @ 11/4

Yep - All stages carry exactly the same points on the line - 25 down to 1 for top 15. As mentioned Trentin was only sprinter in top 7 on the points jersey last year.Couch Critic wrote: Vann just to be clear - are u going for Porte to finish top3 in the points?

Yes thanks I know the points setup- just wasnt sure if u meant Kwiat of Porte. Also Im not quite sure Porte will be the favourite for the ITT later in the race. But agree that he could be a solid punt in this market. I am considering Kwiat or Yates.

Dennis wins like a 7/20 shot should yesterday and we are already onto a tough stage today with no major climbs but enough tough ones to make it a really difficult ride if raced hard
The break must have a chance as there is no obvious favourite here (Sagan if he is in top form but that seems doubtful) however BMC will likely try to protect the jersey and I think the break will be reeled in
I like Valverde 6/1 and 15/10 a top 3 (0.5 units and 1.5 units) as while he would prefer a tougher final climb he has shown he can sprint on a flatter finish as well.
I am also taking a unit on Trentin/Sagan at 9/10, taking a view that Sagan is not going to be at his best

I think some sprinters will think they have a chance today and will do the chasing only to find out the final hump is a bit too tough.
I see your Valverde Brent and will raise you Kwiat. Recon he is in prime form and hoping he has the kick to beat Valverde to the line. Got him at 5/1. Nothing big but if it is clear that the break will be caught I migth add a bit more in-running.
Trentin is on song at present and I will follow you on the matchup against Sagan. Always tough betting against arguably the best all round cyclist in the world but it might be one of the few times that there is some value in opposing him.

Adding Goncalves @80/1 and
Simon Yates over Dan Martin @15/10 - Just think they should be about equal on a stage like this so a touch of value for me there

Porte finished the prologue before TV coverage started so I could not read his body language but he was 30 seconds slower then I expected ( should have been a few seconds faster then S Yates ). I don't know if this is because his tummy bug is worse than they are letting on or if he is just pissed off with Ochowicz and is marking time until his move to Trek. Whatever, my points punt looks dead and buried.

Classic sprint stage today. At 5/10 Viviani is too short for me so taking a dip on the clinically insane Bouhanni who spent 188km yesterday arguing with his DS and punching the team car ( which has been relegated to last in the convoy ) and finished 8min behind the second last rider with a 30second time penalty for his actions - probably not a good bet to follow lol

Great show guys Thanks. I think the break has a better than even chance because Astana lead the team comp and Moviestar are always interested in that comp. In theory both teams will do everything they can to place a rider in the break - which I expect to be pretty large today. One GC for me and a break selection ( Like Couch I will take in play if I come up empty on the break )

Jeeeez sooo stiff Chris!! Reckon Mollema had it in the bag if the road didnt flatten out a bit toward the end and also they just let King get a few too many seconds ahead eish.
Think we got a pretty good indication of where a few of the top contenders stand with regard to each other today. I'm sure we'll have another chat about it but Yates less impressive and Quintana, Lopez and Kelderman looking solid. I reckon Keldermann's odds are going to drop big time by the morning.

Expecting Sagan to leave the Vuelta after stage 12 which means today is about his last chance to win in his favorite stripey jersey.

Looking at the points betting there is
13/10 Valverde
Sagan 15/10
Viviani 5/2
Take Sagan out and there must be some value there?

Before the start of the Vuelta the word from Bora was Sagan would use the first 12 stages as preparation for the worlds. Last night he said he would try to keep the green jersey as long as possible. The worlds finishes with a 2.8km climb at 11.5% with ramps of 25%. The only way Sagan wins is from a break which means he cannot have a full Vuelta in his legs if he wants to ride 265km in a break over a lumpy course two weeks later. My call would be he pulls before the end of the Vuelta.
Two from the break for me today both e/w
Cataldo @ 125/1
Gibbons @ 150/1
(Noticed that Bora tried to put Formolo in the break on Sunday. If they try the same today it would confirm Sagan is not here for the full Vuelta. We don't get the start but I will try and pick up info from the missus who follows many riders and journalists on twitter)
Two from the break for me today both e/w

Sagan update
Bora have been trying to get Postlberger in the break. They would not do this if Sagan was intent on winning the green jersey. There is no danger to Buchmann's GC position today so they would normally keep the entire team in the peloton to chase down the break for the Sagan sprint. ( Today's stage does suit him )
Odds on Sagan staying till end of Vuelta down to 1/10

Thanks Vann, tough one today and Bora should work to bring it back for what should be a much reduced sprint.
If he is there at the end Viviani is a worthy favourite but I get the feeling Sagan is riding into form and that his team will make it tough today - this looks a seriously difficult stage
Going to stay away from the stage result as I give the break a chance and will take 11/10 Sagan/Viviani as my only punt for the day

Today's stage is perfect for a break with the Cat 3 right at the off unfortunately I don't believe there will be many volunteers to be chased for 180km by the sprint teams. BMC were very active yesterday so, in the unlikely event that we do get a large break, I'm having a beer on the longest odds BMC rider I could find

Only proper goat legs will get you up that final WALL. So a good climber that gets in the break is my call for the day.
Majka @ 20/1
Would have loves to have taken Nairo and Lopez in some match bets but unfortunately they have been paired against each other on that front...!
