Cycling: 2009 Vuelta a Espana

You've followed us and lost?

Sanchez dropping consistently throughout the day. Was at 1.735 yesterday and now at 1.662. Not that huge of a drop but might drop even more when the sharp action comes in.

Another funny line change is Gesink - Basso. Started off with Basso being favored 1.87 to 1.99 but now it's the other way around. Gesink favored 1.885 to 1.97.

BOL with the picks tonight .

Here are all my plays for tomorrow's stage.  I might add some more in live action, I'll see later on.

2 units on Valverde to win @ 2.75

Sanchez had a rest day to get back on shape, he's going to destroy Cunego.

7.5 units on Sanchez over Cunego @ 1.62

Valverde will need help to get to the top, no doubt Rodriguez will be there and he can actually keep on with the best.

2 units on Rodriguez over Mosquera @ 3.08

As Bolar said, Anton will work for Sanchez and Martin for him self, I like the value

3 units on Martin over Anton @ 2.43

I really like the courageous rider from Vacansoleil.

4 units on Hoogerland over Vorganov @ 1.787

Vinokourov wants to win but he apparently can't.  I'll give a shot to the KOM man.

4 units on De La Fuente over Vino @ 1.971

Kreuziger had trouble in the 2 first climbs, he mind look for bettter results

3 units on Kreuziger over Zaugg @ 2.09

3 units on Sanchez over Valjavec @ 1.676

30.5 units pending, hope for the best

It's the the 3rd time we take all the same plays, last times it was both during TT and the results were catastrophic but everything makes sense this time, let's see and hope for the best.

 You and I are thinking the same. Now we know the GC contenders will battle for the win on today's stage and a break won't win.

3 units Valverde @ $3.50

I'm quite happy backing Valverde for 50 cents less if it means you get to see what is going to happen. I,E, the break not getting away.

Sanchez could also be a good play @ 28, he will stick to Valverde's wheel as long as he can.

Just want to know what you think about Sanchez over Mosquera and Zubeldia over Tondo.

Mosquera said he wanted to stay away from the cameras and wants to race within his limits. He prefers not to figure among the favourites as it is reported on the Vuelta's website

Throwing 1 unit on all these plays :

Sanchez to win @ 28
Sanchez over Mosquera @ 2.00
Zubeldia over Tondo @ 1.85

4 units on De La Fuente over Vino @ 1.971

Vino has retired and is going home.

I should have put much more

Looking for Martin over Anton

Anton just lost contact with the main contenders

Moncoutie will be in the early break to get points for his KOM jersey, De la Fuente might fallow.

I really like Mosquera for tomorrow and I won't back Valverde @ 1.50, it's too low.

Gesink might attack once again.  He's showing great control and placed a solid attack today.

It's either Gesink or Mosquera who will place a solid attack.

3 plays so far

4 units on Gesink over Evans @ 1.769

I'll place a total of 6 units on Hoogerland

2 units over Moinard @ 1.71

2 units over Intxausti @ 1.826

2 units over Navarro @ 3.06

 

 

 

Tomorrow's climb Valverde has won on a few times. I think he's targeting that stage on Sunday.
