Vuelta a Espana

Never thought I would see a Grand Tour with a 11/100 favorite.

Pogacar has started finding out  that there are a large number of spectators who are just not fans of him. In the TdF he went out of his way to win some over by helping out Del Toro. I expect he will face the same problems in Spain so will put on a show of helping Almeida. I believe Almeida has around two minutes on the second place contenders in the Stage 18 ITT over 32km so worth a sniff.

Win without Pogacar
Almeida  @  5/1

Quite fancy Carapaz to double up on KOM jerseys. Currently priced at 8/1 but don't expect him to try anything until stage 4 so waiting for better odds.

I was just popping on to start the Vuelta thread - thanks Vann 

Where are you getting the winner without Pogacar price? It is a logical market given his price 

The winner without Pogs price is from Sunbet.

Stage 1

Expect a little UAE team comp here so will take the Almeida H2H on the odds. Taking the double based on power versus TT ability as we are only over 9.4 km today.


Almeida/Vine  @  21/10

Double
Leknessund/Chamberlain - Fisher-Black/Romeo  @  18/10

Certainly never considered Pogs for the stage yesterday. Very technical and he would gain nothing by going full taps so only a downside. Course seemed to get faster as the day progressed so Leknessund was dead in the water in that H2H.

Stage 2
Saw someone on X put a free bet on the Merlier (Renewi Tour) and Pedersen double so I did the same with one I had @ 19/1

One for the day
Win
Meeus  @  14/1

Stage 5

Hopefully Pogs throws a few crumbs to the rest today.

E/W  1-3
Romelel  @  33/1
