Mads Pederson is the fav for Stage 1 and the points classification. Roglic tops the boards for the GC, Steinhauser for KoM, Ayuso for young rider and UAE for the team comp.
All thoughts welcome, will stick to this one thread for outrights and individual stages

Roglic has confirmed his top priority this year is the TdF. Martinez is a former Colombian ITT winner so the two ITT's won't scare him and he did finish second here last year. I think Bora will want to keep him in-play as long as possible. Taking the team double on the basis that both teams have had a fast start to this season.
Top 10
DF Martinez @ 9/4
Team H2H double
Ineos/Bahrain - Astana/EF Education @ 3/1

A long term for me is Gaudu/Pidcock @ 14/10.
And will follow with Martinez.

Going for Mads but taking a little bite on Diego in case the second time up the Surrel takes out a bunch of the sprinters.

Got Mads yesterday but the two outrights did not fare very well. Early days though.
13.7 km ITT today with bump in the middle. Not sure how difficult the climb is so may try an in-play bet.
1-3
McNulty @ 7/2
Match bet double
Bernal/Carapaz - Roglic/Ayuso @ 26/10

Flat sprint. Kooi definitely the fastest but 14/10 not for me.
Just a few beers for the watch today on

Was not on my radar so can't remember the price. Did see him sprint in Tour of Turkey a few weeks ago but he was beaten quite easily by the geriatrics Viviani and Kristoff. The team did provide a perfect leadout so worth keeping in mind in this field.

Agree Brent. Stage designed for Pedersen but the 12/10 offers no attraction. Think the finish is too difficult for Zijlaard so Tudor may go with Pluimers. He did finish close on the heels of Pidcock and Vendrame at Tirreno two months ago.
e/w
Pluimers @ 50/1

Not sure who fell yesterday or how they feel today. Roglic did lose Hindley which is a huge blow.
Finish up a climb today. Nothing serious - 12km at 5.5% . Taking Roglic for GC finish and three break darts.
Win
Roglic @ 5/2
Formolo @ 80/1
BS Rivera @ 249/1
D Bais @ 249/1

Probably going tobe my luck that its a break with the smaller teams contesting it but hoping for some fun.
Wout Poels at 25/1 - Can't do serious mountains anymore but this should be in his wheelhouse.
Vacek at 28/1 - Great legs atm and deserves to have a go for himself
Jeffersen (Alveiro) Cepeda - possible break option at 125/1

Gravel sections today but is there enough to thin out the peloton as in Strada?. Truly hope so because the finish is not designed for a bunch sprint.
Agree with Brent on Pidcock. I have taken enough on him to cover my seven darts which are
