2010 Cycling World Championships

Will have Women's later, but at the moment the Under23

10 units Phinney @ $2.25
.5 unit Dennis @ $41
.5 unit Kittell @ $19

Hey Bolar... Where ya getting these markets from?...

TAB Sportsbet has Mark Renshaw to win the Road Race @ $101... I think he should be a little longer than that considering he isnt even racing haha...

Good Luck man...

Cancellara @ 1.60 for the ITT

Richie Porte Top3 @ $9.00 for ITT

That was bet365, Boydy

I have a StanJames account and no one else is putting up the women's race. So I'm going to throw a bet on.

2 units Amber Neben @ $9

1.5 unit Judith Arndt @ $2.75

Taylor Phinney you fucking beauty!

2 units Porte to place @ $9 (Sportingbet)

This is seriously good odds. Porte is in great form at the moment. The recent Tour of Britain, he was strong. Cancellara thinks he's a threat so that's indication that Porte is feeling strong. I think this is a 70-30 bet and it's worth a punt at those odds.

12 units Martin top 3 @ $1.85 (Sportingbet)

Seriously, Cancellara and Martin are the two top time trialists in the world. Martin will thrive on this hilly course. We all know what he's capable of and if he has the same form he had in July, this bet is a winner already. We'll see if he does.

5 units Porte over Velits @ $1.76 (Bet365)

Even though Velits won the Vuelta time trial, that was wind assisted. He may be in form because he did that Vuelta which will help him. He may not. I think he is being overrated here because of that Vuelta time trial. He is good against the clock, but I think Porte has the edge here.

5 units Chavanel over Vogondy @ $1.71 (Bet365)

Chavanel is a strong time trialist and will be French's main hope. He will finish high up. Vogondy on the other hand, I don't rate as highly.

I'll probably have more, but in the morning.

That's actually now a 4 unit play on Porte and 15 unit play on Martin.

Loves bikes does the Bolar

Adding:

Adding

4 units Sanchez over Morenhout @ $1.83
7 units Martin over Larsson @ $1.45

Both with Bet365.

Leaving the following bets for the time trial.

15 units Martin top 3 @ $1.85
4 units Porte top 3 @ $9

7 units Martin over Larsson @ $1.45
5 units Chavanel over Vogondy @ $1.71
5 units Porte over Velits @ $1.76
4 units Sanchez over Morenhout @ $1.83

Pretty happy with that. Sanchez is a strong time trialist and these climbs will suit him very well. He should get the better of Morenhout here.

Martin will finish ahead of Larsson on a course that does not suit Larsson that well. Plus Larsson hasn't finished ahead of Martin this year in a time trial.

I was pumpin Martin top3 out for ya mate since i realised my Porte top3 didnt get on... Betcha were sweatin when he stopped for the wheel change haha...

Congrats man...

Cheers

+6.7 units for the day.

Nah, I was never worried about Martin because the way Porte was riding, it was clear it was one of them on the podium.

Under 23 Road Race

6 units Michael Kwiatkowski over Sebastien Lander @ $1.60

Kwiatkowski will be Poland's leader. He climbed well in the time trial and will look to go great here. He's had numerous top ten's this year and has been consistent in many races. The climbs won't trouble him. Lander on the other hand hasn't had many results like the Polish rider has.

7 units Tony Gallopin over Taylor Phinney @ $1.75

Taylor will set the race up for Talansky and King. Gallopin on the other hand has something these riders don't have. He did the Vuelta and finished a respectable 84th. He can climb better than Phinney and that is the basis for this bet.

5 units Carlos Betancor over Tom-Jelte Slagter @ $2.25

Betancor won the Baby Giro and did it in fine fashion. If this race comes down to the climbs, the Colombian is the best climber in the field.

I'm looking at Marko Kump over Guillaume Boivin and Siahel Papok over Dimitry Ignatiev

Winner:

3 units Michael Matthews @ $6
.5 unit Carlos Betancor @ $31
.5 unit Eduard Beltran @ $

Matthews is Australia's best hope and he's on the best under 23 cyclists in the World. You will be hearing his name in the future.

I've also backed two Colombian's at strong odds. Betancour's write-up is above but Beltran could keep up with Betancor at some parts in the Baby Giro. Another up and coming talent, Fabio Duarte won this race for Colombia in 2008. In 2009, Betancour finished second. I do think a Colombian looks good for a win, so I've taken the two best Colombian's in the race.

Under 23 Road Race

6 units Kump over Boivin @ $1.45

Can't see how Boivin will handle these climbs. Kump is a good shot to win and I think Boivin won't be in that select group at the business end of the race.

-10 units there. Ouch

10 units Breschel over Sagan @ $1.55 (SportingBet)

The last two years, Breschel has finished in the top ten in the World Championships on hard courses. Sagan is young and has had a huge year and is doubtful over a course of 250km. In fact, I don't think Sagan has attempted a course as long and tough as this. To put it in short, I can't see Sagan finishing the race and I can see Breschel finishing it
impressively.

10 units Allan Davis over Grega Bole @ $2.05 (Centrebet)

There is no doubt in my mind that Alan Davis will make it around this course. If he has the legs he had in the Vuelta, where he finished top 40 on the last climbing stage, he will mix it at the finish. Bole on the otherhand I can't see making it.

8 units Matthew Goss over Edvald Boasson-Hagen @ $1.55 (TAB)

Boasson-Hagen won't contest the finish here. He'll be working for Hushovd. Goss will be one of the Australian leaders.

I heard yesterday that at the Vuelta, Cavendish couldn't keep Goss' wheel. Goss was hammering it that much and he had to apply the brakes to let Cavendish overtake him. Cavendish has also tipped Goss and he knows how strong he is. Goss can climb too. Australia will try and set it up for Goss and Davis.

7 units Andre Greipel over Mark Cavendish @ $3.10 (SportingBet)

There is no way Cavendish will finish this race if the teams are smart. Greipel is a better climber and with the German's having a bigger team, they will set it up for him and Martens. Cavendish only has two guys to help him. I would expect the teams will smash the course early dropping Cavendish. Good thing about this that I will get my money back if both don't finish. At the moment it will either be both won't finish or Greipel will finish ahead of him.

6 units Thor Hushovd over Tyler Farrar @ $2 (SportingBet)

Again, this isn't a course for Farrar. If the teams make the race hard, Farrar will be one of the few to drop. Hushovd can climb better.

6 units Nicholas Roche over Paul Martens @ $1.55 (SportingBet)

Nicholas Roche will be Ireland's leader. That's a definite. No one is talking about Roche. He's in top form yet his name isn't mentioned. Martens will be working for Greipel but will be third in the pecking order as team leader with Wegmann and Greipel ahead of him.

5 units Luis Leon Sanchez over Vincenzo Nibali @ $1.67 (SportingBet)

Nibali will be sacrificed by the Italian's during the race. Luis Leon Sanchez will launch an attack at one point and may end up being a decoy, but Luis Leon has the better chance of finishing high up.

4 units Peter Velits over Michael Albasini @ $1.87 (SportingBet)

Albasini will be working for Cancellara. Velits will be Slovakia's leader with his brother.



To win:

2 units Freire @ $8
.5 units Pozzato @ $13
1 unit Goss @ $19
1 unit Luis Leon Sanchez @ $34
.5 unit Giovanni Visconti @ $34
.5 unit Samuel Sanchez @ $41
.5 unit Allan Davis @ $41
.5 units Nicholas Roche @ $41
.3 unit Frank Schleck @ $81
.2 units Simon Gerrans @ $151


The Spanish are talking up Freire. Luis Leon Sanchez and Samuel Sanchez will also be their guys. It wouldn't surprise me to see one of these three win.

Giovanni Visconti will be Italy's backup plan with Pozzato the leader. Visconti will attack on one of the final laps, but if there are a couple riders from the big nations with him, that will be the winning move.

Allan Davis is in top form as is Matthew Goss. Simon Gerrans is a nice outside price. Nicholas Roche could easily win here and Schleck could very well win as this course is made for him.

Freire is also the leader and is looking to collect a fourth rainbow jersey.

History has been made these world championships.

First Australian to win an under 23 mens road race in Michael Matthews

Taylor Phinney is the first person to come top three in both the time trial and road race.

Taylor Phinney is the first American to podium in the under 23 road race.

Fabian Cancellara has claimed four time trial rainbow jerseys.

Why not Freire getting win number 4?

That's actually 1 unit on Luis Leon

I meant Sammy Sanchez. 1 unit @ 41

And throw 1.5 units on Cancellara @ $10

Day 1: +8 units

Day 2: +6.7 units

Day 3: -10 units

Day 4: No Bet

Day 5: +20.68 units

Overall: +25.38

Kills the cycling does the bolar!

why was the Goss/Boasson Hagen void?

Because both riders failed to finish.

The rules with every book in regards to cycling is:

In matchups, both riders must start for the bet to stand. If one doesn't start, the bet will be void.

At least one rider needs to finish for the bet to stand. If both don't finish, the bet will be deemed void.
