Cycling: 2008 Giro D'Italia

I remember having Vino to win a stage of the Tour when he was very young and he lost be a similar margin. He was 66-1.

Although it is a long downhill run the last 15 or so kms I think a breakaway could be the go.

 

 

Finally he breaks through again for the double.

Stage 14

Here we go. The first real test!

Simoni E/W $6.50/$2.25 - large play

Di Luca E/W $7.50/$2.40 - medium play

Siutsou E/W $101/$31 - very small play

After reading that Simoni won on this finish in 2003 and came second in 1999, I'm increasing my stake on him.

$350 each way on Simoni $6.50/$2.25

Also taking a few outrights

Simoni to take the Giro @ $10 - get on him now at this price before it goes in.

Cavendish to take the points @ $36 - small play. Cavendish wants to fight through to the end. He has 25 points - 1 ahead of Bennati who is favourite. I feel this is worthy of a small play!

Lost x 3

Cav came second - so I got him for the place. He should have won, but he did the unselfish thing and toyed with the field.

Davis came second so his place got up too. So a winning day.

Today at the Giro

Voigt $14/$4.25

Millar $31/$10

In Belgium

Davis $10/$3.75

Tonight the GC contenders come out again.

Kloden E/W $51/$14 - small value bet
Di Luca E/W $8.50/$2.65 - surely he will win a stage?
Ricco E/W $5/$1.90 - large play

Good luck!

What sportsbook are you using to get odds on cycling? Do you know where I can get odds on the 4th annual Australian Roshambo Championships? I go an inside tip on Andrea Farina aka The Fist of Fury.
I also am looking for odds in Extreme Ironing.
Extreme Ironing
This Web site states that "Extreme Ironing is a sport which combines the danger and the spirit of an extreme sport with boring housework you have to do." Essentially, participants must iron their own clothes in dangerous situations, like on the edge of a cliff, in the middle of the arctic or underwater. How underwater ironing works is a question for the ages, but according to the site, the record for depth has been broken. Another inside tip tells me that Henry Cookson is not to be messed with on the ironing board, he represented in the Antarctica last year.
