I told Jim to get his ass in here. Don't be surprised if he shows up soon Bolar.

3 units Boasson-Hagen over Vinokourov @ $1.65
2 units Kiryenka over Brajkovic @ $1.60
Top 3 - Value bets
1 unit Boasson- Hagen @ $12
1 unit Martin @ $9
.5 unit Ignatiev @ $9
.5 unit Zirbel @ $20
As with the top 3, Martin came home. Zirbel was 4th. So the value was spot on.
Boasson-Hagen was obviously tired from Brittain where he won those 5 stages, including 4 in a row.
+6.7 units for the time trial

So for the world's I'm 1.4 units up.
Regards to the women's road race, I have no idea, but the USA look strong. I'll be researching into Armstrong to do the double. I may play something, I may not. Nicole Cooke would have be the favourite. It's either Cooke or Armstrong.
Mens under 23 - Leigh Howard is Australia's leader and he's won races lately. He's probably a bit too raw for a race like this, although he's climbing exceptionally well. He said he is focusing on the world's and probably leave it at that for his season, so he could do something considering this could be his last race for 2009.
The guy I like most in the Under 23 road race is Teejay Van Garderen. The yank should have the legs.

I went 2-0 in my prerace calls which I couldn't
Went 2-2 on the prerace bets I placed winning 0.12 units
But I placed 10 units under 1 min margin. Wiggins was supposed to finish 2nd within a minute from Cancellara but he had troubles with his bike and his shape.
Ended up 2-3 -9.8 units
Cancellara is too strong, nothing else I can say.
0-2 in margin betting, I should stop it.
Well done on Martin top 3

Here are a couple of plays for the men's road race Nick wanted to post but could not because of the forum not working on his internet access:
Valverde over Cunego @2
Ballan over Sanchez @2.6
Gilbert over Cancellara @2.15
Kreuziger over Bajkovic @1.90
A Shleck over Evans @2.40
Kirchen over Ivanov @2.25
Offered at bet365 for now but should be up everywhere else soon enough.

Mens Under 23.
4 units Peter Kennaugh over Mirco Saggiorato @ $2 - It's into $1.64 now, but I got it earlier this afternoon. It's a risk backing against the local boy, but Kennaugh is part of a strong Great Britain outfit. It's his last amateur race and he wants to go out on a high. It's unclear who Switzerland are riding for, but I like this bet and like it a lot.
3 units Gianluca Brambilla over John Degenkolb @ $2.10 - The Italian team is strong as so is the German team. I think Germany's better chance is Reimer, hence why I'm taking this play.
3 units Martin Reimer over Dennis Van Winden @ $2 - Reimer should be Germany's man. There's a few guys ahead of Van Winden in the Netherlands squad.
Good luck

+6.7 units for the world's.
The first two bets got up with relative ease.
The last one, Reimer abandoned on lap 9, but when Van Winden was 5 minutes down at the start of the last lap, he like everyone else decided to throw in the towel making the bet void. Thanks to the Dutchman there. I owe him.
