Bicycle Racing Betting
Bicycle racing is best known for the Tour de France but there are other great opportunities for cycling betting beyond “The Tour”. Bicycle racing also includes feature tours such as the Giro d’Italia and cycling betting action for the Vuelta a Espana.
The big news that came out at the start of the bicycle racing season was that Lance Armstrong was going to return to bicycle racing and, of course, the Tour de France where he made his fame by owning the event as the seemingly unbeatable seven time champion and heavy bicycle racing favorite on the board.
But before the “Super Bowl” of bicycle racing there is the Giro d’Italia from Italy which runs from May 9-31. This will be the 92nd running of this bicycle racing event which preps everyone for the Tour de France that follows a month later.
This cycling betting event starts on the Lido of Venice and finishes amongst the historic sites of Rome, itself! The Giro d’Italia is a 21-stage bicycle racing event that spans 3395.5 kilometers with six mountain top finishes. Armstrong will return for the first time in four years.
The Tour de France will follow beginning July 4 and running through July 26. This bicycle racing classic is known for the majestic and mighty mountains that the competitors must overcome. This is where Armstrong made his bicycle racing legend and the question will be how effective can he be after the long layoff.
Carlos Sastre will defend his 2008 title against Armstrong and the rest of the world’s top cyclists. The 64th Vuelta a Espana GT will take place August 29 through September 20 to wrap up the trio of bicycle racing classic must see events.
This cycling betting event will actually start outside of Spain in Assen in the Netherlands before ending in the famed Paseo del Prado in Madrid for a total distance of 3279 kilometers. There will be five mountaintop finishes in the three week race. This stop on the tour will feature the most balanced route of the three races mentioned here.
