    If you have a look at the weather forecast you can see strong tail wind wish help to catch the breakaway. 

    Rabobank will have to work hard to set up Freire and Garmin have to do the same to set up Farrar who had a day off yesterday.

    About Astana, their 4 best men have always been that strong over the past years, they are as clean as any other leaders, nothing suspicious about them.

    By the way, Vinokourov will be back to competiton pretty soon, his suspension comes to an end.

    5 units Cavendish @ $1.80

    Columbia are putting on a show here. The gap was out to over 9 minutes. Within the space of 7km, the gap is now just over 5. They are keeping it in reaching distance. This is a bunch sprint.

    While I'm at it.
     
    Columbia could have easily chased down the gap but no other team wanted to help them. They left the onus on the other teams to chase it down. The other teams didn't take it.
     
    Why is Cav unbeatable? Every sprinter knows they can't beat him. This could have easily been a sprint finish. Columbia didn't work because no one else would. They know where they stand. They now know that no other sprinter wants to go up against Cav.

    Odds are out and Freire is favorite to win @ 4.00
     
    There's 500 m with a 6.6 % inclination about 2km from the line, therefore if the pack is all together, Freire would be able to stay with the best on the climb and then easily win the sprint.
     
    Cancellara and Armstrong will be in front the make sure the other one won't escape.  If Armstrong can push hard enough to get that precious second, trust me he will.
     
    Kirchen must show up tomorrow as well as Ballan.
     
    Here are matchups I'm interested to :

    Cancellara over Wegmann 1.389

    Ballan over Pozzato 2.94

    Martin over Hincapie 1.437

    Kirchen over Pineau 1.641

    Armstrong over Andy 1.971

    LLS over Millar 2.32

    Kirchen over Pozzato 2.36

    Freire over Hushovd 1.565

     

    I'll post my final plays tomorrow morning.

    Have to agree with you Nick, if ever Freire is going to show up this Tour this is the stage. Finish looks perfect for him. Will be having a decent jolly on him each way. Going to throw some coins on Pippo as well.

    If the pack comes back together, which I think it will, then Kirchen and Sanchez are excellent bets here. Milram are saying they will set it up for Ciolek.

    H2H

    3 units Kirchen over Pozzato @ $2.27
    5 units Sanchez over Millar @ $2.29
    5 units Kirchen over Pineau @ $1.62
    2 units Martin over Duque @ $2.10

    To win

    1 unit Sanchez @ $34
    3 units Sanchez place @ $8.50
    .5 units Kirchen @ $9.00
    .5 units Kirchen @ $2.80

    .2 Garate @ $81
    .2 Flecha @ $66
    .2 Arroyo @ $66

    Hey I guys, I know very little about le Tour but have been reading this thread with great interest.

    I've taken Tony Martin over Hincarpie @ $1.50.

    Thoughts?

    Cheers

    It should get up, but I wouldn't be too confident. There's other matchups. What other matchups do you have?

    So far, I’ve placed 2 parlays on Bet365.  I’m going with Martin over Hincapie + Kirchen over Pineau and Freire over Hushovd, 1 unit @ 2.83 and Armstrong over Andy Shleck + Cancellara over Pozzato 1 unit @ 4.29

     

    I’ve found some interesting plays on Pinnacle as well:

     

    Cancellara needs to stay in the top 20 to save his jersey: 2 units Cancellara over Wegmann @ 1.389

     

    Ballan is the 2008 road champion, he can attack on this type of stage, it’s time to show his power: 2 units Ballan over Pozzato @ 2.94

     

    Martin has shown in Switzerland that he’s strong enough to win a stage. Hincapie might only be there to help him: 3 units Martin over Hincapie @ 1.437

     

    Kirchen is terrible this year, here’s a chance to change things: 2 units Kirchen over Pineau 1.641

     

    Armstrong needs to push hard on this short climb to grab the little second he needs: 2 units Armstrong over Andy Shleck @ 1.971

     

    Freire has more push and I feel he can win it: 4 units Freire over Hushovd @ 1.565

     

    One last try on Kirchen, good value and I don’t think Pozzato is in France to win so: 1 unit Kirchen over Pozzato @ 2.36

     
    I had in mind LLS vs Millar, but I didn't place it yesterday like all my other bets.  I waited for your confirmation and I'll place right away a bit more than 2 units @ 2.13

    I'm using Pinnacle.

    I was also looking at Cavendish @ $1.90 over Boonen & Contador @ $2.50 over Cadel Evans. Thoughts on those ones?

    Thanks

    N!CK - this is looking good today for Sanchez. Millar was in the break so will be exhausted. Astana are putting on a huge pace - the sprinters won't keep up.
     
    Caisse's directeur sportiff said that they want the win today - well they will try for it.

    Can he do it? This is such a captivating stage. Crash did not disrupt the chase but another huge crash with Boonen just now. Wow. Unreal.
    The rain is causing quite a lot of these crashes with the paint.

    What an incredible finish!  Millar with the great ride but gets caught up with 1 km to go. Freire shaking his head as he crosses the line in 2nd behing Hushovd. A couple of bad breaks for you guys. BOL with the picks. I'll update the dog stats at the end of the tour for the martchups but it's not looking good either.

    As I look through these matchups posted in here, I can't help but notice how hard this tour has been in terms of capping,

    Nothing seems to go as planned and the riders are all over the place. Also, there is a very weak, if not completely absent, correlation between odds and results which I find very surprising considering the results in previous cycling events.

    And, how many times so far has this happened: Pozzato crossing the finish line with Ballan following behind and no one between them. This was a top 10 finish so I'm assuming everyone is pushing as hard as they can but what about the bottom 50.

    The results are published so fast that I'm left wondering if the Tour actually does carefully publish who finishes in front of who when 25 guys cross the finish line in the back of the chase group when it does not affect the sandings in any way.

    All the results are carefully registered by computer.  There's a littre sensor on every bikes, it lets you know who finished where.
     
    So far it has been a terrible Tour.  I've never been so bad. I won 20 % of my picks...2-8
     
    Lost 12.6 units

    Only Cancellara and LLS cashed in. It makes no sense. At least Hushovd is 1 point behing Cavendish for the green jersey and Freire registered some points !
     
    Tomorrow is a nice HC climb finish, let's see how I can fucked up more plays.
     
    Can't understand how I can have a 7-23 record - 40.9 units

    Gambling is a risky business. So far, I'm on the wrong side and I'm basically losing all my plays.  Logic failed many many times and there's no way I can explain it.  Today, on my 2 winners I had a time gap and my 8 loses, every guys were in the same pack, my write up made sense but ended up behind all wrong.
     
    Stage 7 : Everyone knows Contador win will...but what if, if he feels tired, if he can't.  Armstrong wants and deserves to wear the yellow jersey, can he do it ? Why not....Leipheimer will help him. 
     
    Sastre can climb ror sure, he shown his skills in the giro.  Both Shleck wants to get closer to the top in the GC and Cancellera will be there to help them until he has given everything.  O'grady and Voigt are 2 excellents team riders.
     
    I'm all in tomorrow, logic has been thrown away, but all my picks make sense to me.  There's an explanation behind any of them. 
     
    If you come and read this topic for the first time you might think I'm a big loser showing a devastating -40 units record, I would say, learn and appreciate cycling, it's easy to predict where a guy will finish but you can't know what he feels if he wants these extra 5 spots on the line to make your pick a winner.
     
    The only why in my selection is because...if you want to know I can tell you.
     
    1 unit A Shleck over Contador @ 3.00*
    1 unit  Sastre over Contador @ 3.97*
    1 unit  Sastre over Evans @ 2.58***
    1 unit  Armstrong over Kreuziger @ 2.08**
    2 units Leipheimer over Kloden @ 1.794***
    2 units F Shleck over Nibali @ 2.04***
    1 unit  Vandevelde over Gerdemann @ 1.763**
    2 units Pereiro over LLS @ 2.40***
    1 unit  Anton over Moncoutie @ 2.46**
    1 unit  Efimkin over Nibali @ 3.01*
    1 unit  Armstrong over Evans @ 2.76*
    2 units Sastre over Kreuziger @ 1.704***
    2 units Pellizotti over Kirchen @ 1.385***
     
    * It's a good guess
    ** I believe
    ***Strong play, can't see why they might lose.
     
     
    Sastre is my man tomorrow, I can't see him outside top 3.  Only Shleck's brother or Contador can beat him on the climb. Kreuziger is too young to be good, same for Gendermann. Evans is a choker and his Tour is probably over. Efimkin and Nibali are big question marks, you never know. Moucoutie was 11 minutes behind last year on the first HC finish, cheer for Anton.  Armstrong is in France to win...well we'll see tomorrow.  If the real Lance shows up, you'll get reward later on.
     
    Enjoy the last hour of the race, the final climb will be amazing.
     
    Do not fallow my picks, there's no guarante, if you fade me you're retard.
     
    Play your own pick or learn from people who knows.
     
    Good luck Bolar, I'm waiting to read your analysis.

    Today is a good day for Alberto Contador to show his dominance in Astana. But he can only be launched if someone attacks. If Sastre attacks, he won't chase. However, he might have telephoned his good buddy LLS. If LLS attacks, Contador will go with him so as I mentioned before the Tour, tonight's stage is a good opportunity for LLS to drag Contador up the climb.
     
    If Armstrong or Contador got yellow tonight, they will lose it tomorrow because a break will go clear after that climb tomorrow 40km from the finish. Tomorrow is a day for Moncoutie and Moreau. Moncoutie may try something today and may not be caught, but tomorrow is more important to him.
     
    The break will be caught somewhere on the last climb. I'm thinking Sastre is an excellent choice here today. There are three riders I'm looking to win the stage. Sastre, Sanchez and Contador. IMO no one else will win the stage. Today goes to a Spanish rider. Again, this is logic and logic hasn't proven right this tour so far.
     
    At the moment, I've placed these bets. I'll be coming back later with the stage winner.
     
    The orange boys will be productive today. Astaraloza, Martinez or Anton get in the break.
     
    3 units Sastre over Evans @ $2.59
    1 units Astraloza over Efimkin @ $2.59
    1 units Arroyo over Karpets @ $2.61
    6 units Sanchez over Gerdemann @ $2.57
    2 units Sanchez over Gerdemann @ $2.49
     
    Stage Winner
     
    1 unit Sastre @ $14
    3 units Contador @ $3.75
    1 unit Sanchez @ $34
    .5 unit Rogers @ $66
    2.5 units Sastre top 3 @ $3.75
     
    I'm only throwing something on Rogers because in 2007 Vino crashed and came back the next day and won the stage from a break. Landis rode crap in 2006 and did the same. If Rogers legs are good, he tries the break today.
     
    Mick Rogers is 13 minutes down - he's going to be in a breakaway at some point.
     
    Good luck!

    The orange boys will be productive today. Astaraloza, Martinez or Anton get in the break.
     
    3 units Sastre over Evans @ $2.59
    1 units Astraloza over Efimkin @ $2.59
    1 units Arroyo over Karpets @ $2.61
    6 units Sanchez over Gerdemann @ $2.57
    2 units Sanchez over Gerdemann @ $2.49
     
    Stage Winner
     
    1 unit Sastre @ $14
    3 units Contador @ $3.75
    1 unit Sanchez @ $34
    .5 unit Rogers @ $66
    2.5 units Sastre top 3 @ $3.75
     
    I'm only throwing something on Rogers because in 2007 Vino crashed and came back the next day and won the stage from a break. Landis rode crap in 2006 and did the same. If Rogers legs are good, he tries the break today.
     
    Mick Rogers is 13 minutes down - he's going to be in a breakaway at some point.
     
    Good luck!

    2 units Uran over Anton @ $2.13 - This Uran is a quality climber from Columbia. He might be put in the break though or he might be saved. Worth the risk.
