Cycling : Vuelta a Espana was created by The Vann
Last Grand Tour of the season starts 14/08. Probably my favorite as we have a fair sprinkling of shorter more exciting stages and the climbs can be tricky. Its also August which is open season for transfers/new contracts in cycling so we get some desperate riders out there.
On the jerseys. The leaders red and the mountains polka are the same as other tours. Points jersey is similar but the points on each stage is the same ( 25 down to 1 for top 15 ) and the interim sprint only carries 4/3/2. The white combi jersey is the rider best placed in the other three jerseys.
I never punt the combi jersey as its about the same as the race winner.
GC will probably be decided on the two massive climbing days - stages 17 + 18 - and the final day ITT over 34km.
LA VUELTA OUT RIGHTS
A few notes
Last week Bardet won the big climbing stage in Burgos and there are a few stages with climbs late and finishing on a downhill being Bardet territory. Aru finished second to Landa over the five days of Burgos. Dombrowski robbed me of a 60/1 shot in the Giro when he beat de Marchi from the break in a medium mountain stage - he owes me. Yates has improved his time trialing by leaps and bounds since joining Ineos and I think his chances here are around the 11/2 mark so taking on odds.
Win
A Yates @ 12/1
Top 10
Aru @ 4/1
To win a stage Yes
Bardet @ 7/2
Dombrowski @ 8/1

Thanks Vann, I've only had chance to have a look at the start list now, have you seen a price for Shachmann to win a stage?

Thanks. Best list at Sunbet. Also strangely have the best out right odds - unusual.
Schachmann is at 13/2. Was one of the last three on my list together with Carapaz @ 3/1 and Cort @ 7/2

Shot for starting the thread Vann
Going to approach this Vuelta a bit differently. Times are tough and my Sunbet account is on 0 (betting been ok for me but 2 years and no increase has seen the pressure ramp up)
I am only going to allow myself R1000 for the Vuelta which will put me under some serious pressure to hit something early
Will track my balance on this thread
Early long term fancy Movistar team prize at 3/1 but with a limited starting balance no long terms yet

Opening Balance R1000
Stage 1
A tricky looking route and I am not convinced Roglic will go 100% through corners and being so short it may be that even a slight drop off is enough to see someone else in
R40 places on Van Baarle 20, Aranburu 22 Fraile 40
R10 win on each at 80, 100 and 150
Spend R150
Balance R850

Agree on the route today Brent. Too technical so I do not expect any GC riders to risk losing the Vuelta today. Also - at 7.1km anyone who is prepared to risk injury could get close. Someone dumb and young like Simmons maybe.
Also on a long losing run with Sunbet but they keep throwing up good odds like the Wurtz Schmidt bet today so have to take it.

Similar to Brent looking for more inplay bets for this; giving my main antepost this year was for a Team Ineos rider to podium in all 3 tours happy to pick the odd big priced outsider.
Today is Florian Vermeersch @150/1 Young Belgian who goes off last for Lotto Soudal

Great call Brent. Annoyed I did not follow on Aranburu.
The nice thing about Grand Tours is you get a few looks at the riders over similar stages. I see today as a reccie for larger punts and match bets on stages 4 + 5. Was half stage stake yesterday and will go similar today as I have another out right in mind. Undecided on sprinters so running with Brent

Molano @ 5/1

Certainly a close sprint to start the Vuelta
Big climb at the end of today - headwind might make it tough to attack but have a feeling Lopez is going to go for it and is strong
Balance R1670
R20 win Lopez at 25/1
R50 top 3 Lopez at 6/1

Should be a good watch on Monday with the final climb really tough. Will follow BG with a nibble at Lopez and also Bardet 18/1 based on Vanns pre - race thinking.

Spot of inexperience costing us the money yesterday. Molano starts the sprint a little early, which is not unusual, but the bugger-up comes when he sprints in the centre giving riders both sides to pass.
The final climb today was climbed in the Vuelta a Burgos on 5 Aug and Bardet was first over the top ahead of Landa and Bernal. He unfortunately crashed on the descent but looks like he has fully recovered going by the first stage ITT. Also heard the wind will be head-on so could have a small bunch sprint.

Had high hopes for my Dombrowski out right yesterday but just missed - we soldier on.
Today's finish is 400-500metres at 4-6% depending what you read. I'm going to presume sprinters still win as they should be in front. Giving my stage 2 pick a second chance.

Hi guys,
Been quiet this week. Took some in running action (small plays) on likes of Roglic and Yates at big prices on stage 3 but the break never came back
Small nibble Magnus Cort yesterday top 3 at 13/2 and balance sitting on 1725
Work hectic so will get more involved from Friday

Scary narrow farm road 6km from finish today. Could see a few GC hopes dashed. Does not look like a well thought out route.
Obviously I cannot pick a stage winner so going with two from the boards and two very long shots. Saving 20% of days stake for in-play as the right break probably stays away.

Herrada Jesus @ 28/1

Will also hope for the break on Thursday and chancing Andreas Kron, 33/1. Didn't know much about the guy but looks a talent with wins in Catalunya and Swiss this year and 16 mins back on GC so no concern to the race leaders.

Friday sticking with Kron at 25/1, think he tried for the break early yesterday so maybe shelved his effort for today when it took so long to get established. Miguel Lopez the back up at 33/1 in case GC battle it out

Had three for a win in the break and Bardet from my out right and came up empty again.
Thought Bernal was either over doing the facials or is not having a great time so today's stage moola heading to a little out right
Bernal Top 3 - No @ 17/10

Thought we may get the whole stage today but looks like only the last 50min or so. Start with a long downhill so not sure little climbers can make the break but will take a few darts - can always take one of the GC guys in play as their odds stay around the same.

I think the break sticks tomorrow and it should be a really good stage to watch
R50 on Balioli at 12/1
R30 on Aranburi at 20/1
R10 on Verona at 66/1
R10 on Ellisonde at 200/1
Someone talk me out of depositing and placing a big bet on Bahrain for the team comp at 6/10
They have so much depth in the team and Movi are already 2 riders light and won't have too many to get into breakaways with Mas and Lopez in contention

Not going to mess with my Sunbet balance but broke strategy a bit and took Bahrain for the team comp at 4/6 at WSB - to win 1k which is my limit there

I'm hoping Padun gets off the Landa leash today; also been impressed with Verona, and he may be the Movistar dangerman for the Team Comp Brent!

A big fat Zilch from the first weeks stages. Only bet with any chance is the day I skipped the stage and took the lay bet on Bernal. Have tried Vansevenant several times with no joy so switching to another Quick-Step rider.
Vuelta Stage 10
Bagioli @ 14/1
Fraile @ 28/1
Padun @ 50/1
Madrazo @ 350/1
Caicedo @ 350/1

A stage where going down could prove more crucial than going up.
Pick you Astana player today I reckon. Aranburu, Fraile, LLS and the bros...
I'll take LLS at 40/1 & Gorka at 80.
Also the "Champ" at 100/1

Brent with some very lively runners in that break but lovely in-play work Vann!
I ended up adding Van Barle late and took Eiking in play - needless to say I once again came up just short with 3rd, 4th and fifth on the day! In fairness though Storer was a cut above today.
What a day in all, it really is only the Vuelta where you can see such a big swing thanks to a strong break and just nowhere near enough control from a dominant team to keep them in check. If G Martin can find his best climbing legs he could stay well in the mix until the very end. Unbelievable to see Primoz feel the need to try and do so much work on his own (his team really is nowhere near what he is used to) and then almost cock up the entire race - but respect to him for showing some serious balls though he is starting to fall off his bike a bit more often than the very best should be.

No joy despite all the runners in the break and my 6/10 team classification bet goes 5/2 as Ineos stick 2 in the break - strange as it sounds it is this unpredictability that I love about cycling and especially the team comp.

After eventually ditching Vansevenant he finishes second. One place better and I would of flour bombed the Quick-Step bus.
Not sure a break stays today as Astana/Bike Exc/Quick-Step will all be interested so going with Bagioli who could win from either. I also think his match bet odds are way too long based on what I saw on stage 6.
Vuelta Stage 11
Win
Bagioli @ 25/1
Match Bet
Bagioli/Kron @ 22/10
Also fancy the Grossschartner match bet so a beer double
Grossschartner/Vlasov into above @ 23/4

I can't get a run for my money, try again today, this time with Pidcock, Ineos having a bit of a nightmare so far and badly need a stage win

When you finish your morning chores and have nothing to do until lunch why not run your eyes down the stage odds list. A beer apiece
Vanhoucke @ 125/1 (3rd in Giro on similar stage)
Simmons @ 125/1 (Won in Wallonie on similar stage)

With Philipsen's withdrawal there is only Jakobsen ahead of Roglic in the points competition. Not sure if Jakobsen has the legs to make it through the next weeks heat and those two brutal stages 17 + 18. Joining kc on the out right - quite surprised still on offer at these odds
Points Winner
Roglic @ 6/1
and the usual suspects
Vuelta Stage 12
Win
Bagioli @ 18/1
van Baarle @ 28/1
Simmons @ 66/1

Finish with the circle around 600m out means rider with lead out train wins. So either lump kitchen sink on Jakobsen or beer for the watch.
Vuelta Stage 13
Taking the beer Win

Balance (after bets below) down to R1095
R25 on each of these
Kron 66/1
Vansevenant 80/1
Baglioli 200/1
Majka 25/1
Should be a great stage
