Tour de France, Horse Racing from the Vaal and the Water Polo quarter-finals are among Tuesday’s Sporting highlights and we take a closer look at some of the betting options available.
TOUR DE FRANCE
The Tour de France riders return from a rest day to tackle what looks a fairly straight forward Stage 16. The betting suggests that it will come down to a sprint, with Dylan Groenewegen the 16/10 favourite ahead of Caleb Ewan at 5/2.
At this stage of the Tour there are plenty of tired legs and there is a possibility of some cross-winds so while a sprint finish looks almost nailed on, it is certainly not guaranteed. We do think it will eventually end in a bunch gallop though and given the 2nd place money back promo, the 16/10 Dylan Groenewegen, the fastest man in the field, looks worth taking.
