Holistic Cycling Time Trial Score

So what is it? We've generated, what we feel is a better score to boost up potential diamonds in the rough prior to key time trial events. Let's take an example. In the Renewi Tour 2023 Stage 2 ITT, Tim Wellens came second overall, and the

Chronos des Nations 2023 Betting Favourites

If you haven't yet read on our post on why betting on short cycling odds isn't worth it - you should - because Tarling is now even shorter for Chronos des Nations then he was for the European Time Trial Champs. Why Short Betting Odds In

Tour of Guangxi 2023 Betting Favourites

Level: UWT Total Stages: 6 Sprint Stages: 3-5 Slight Climbs: 1-3 Alright. We were a little late to the party on this one. Blame is on Canadian Thanksgiving. Or the fact that we didn't actually think they'd offer up odds. But we're starting to

Giro del Veneto 2023 Betting Favourites

Type: One Day Country: Italy Level: Pro Only run the past two years after taking a ten year hiatus. Xandro Meurisse is stuck in Turkey taking on Jay Vine on the climbs - so he won't be coming back for a win in 2023. The big teams are

Veneto Classic 2023 Betting Favourites

Type: One Day Country: Italy Level: Pro All the big teams are showing up - it's mainly going to be a question of who's not yet on the retirement ship for the season. Andreas Kron seems to be making an appearance and we think he might

Tour or Turkey 2023 Betting Favourites

Boy oh boy they got the odds up a long way in advance for this one. May want to hold off until the E/W closes down to 1/4 instead of 1/5 - but it may never actually get to 1/4 to be fair given the lack

Paris - Tour 2023 Betting Favourites

Ah. Paris - Tours. It may not be Il Lombardia - but it's France's attempt to round off the cycling season with a bang and compete with the Italian Monument for flare and panache. Usually ending in a bunch sprint, Démare has won this twice -

Paris - Bourges 2023 Betting Favourites

Type: One Day Level: .1 Soren Kragh, Pedersen, Demare, and De Lie are all showing up for this one day race nearing the tail end of the season. Has Pedersen's form ran out after the recent semi slump he's been having - or have the courses

Coppa Bernocchi 2023 Betting Favourites

Level: .1 Type: One Day Wout  Van Aert is the obvious favourite - but we feel mostly due to name recognition. We don't have time for a long write up but we'd explore other options. If it does come down to a sprint. Which is might

Tour de Vendee 2023 Betting Favourites

Type: One Day Level: .1 A French sprint race. Pure and simple. If you check out the start list the competition is well...sparse. It's likely Demare will simply be able to swoop in and take the win here, but you never know. Coquard took it away from

Coppa Bernocchi 2023 Betting Favourites

Level: Pro Country: Italy Will they have odds for this Italian classic? At this point who knows - but we dearly hope so. They let us bet on the Mixed Time Trial relay but not these? Seems, cough, odd. We'll make this short. But we did want to

Tre Valli Varesine 2023 Betting Favourites

Level: Pro Country: Italy Startlist: Riders The startlist is starting to stack up. Wout van Aert, Gall, Roglič, Ayuso, Yates and Pogačar will all be making an appearance. Pogačar won last year, but it also remains to be seen how they'll divvy up the leader role at UAE.

Cro Race 2023 Betting Favourites

Country: Croatia Level: .1 Total Stages: 6 The race usually features a variety of semi difficult stages with enough climbing, or at least stages that end with climbing, to make the rouleurs with a greater than average climbing ability succeed. It's the race where Oscar Onley began to

Giro dell'Emilia 2023 Betting Favourites

Level: Pro Category: One Day Ah the race where last year Enric Mas road away from Tadej Pogacar. Little did he know that it just wasn't Pogacar's A race for the year and that Il Lombardia was in his sights. Vlasov and Roglič have both won

Omloop van het Houtland 2023 Betting Favourites

Level: .1 Distance: 196.4km Another fall classic bunch sprint race. Someone else might have a shot given that Philipsen's not on the startlist. Groenewegen will likely take the crown given that. But let's dive a little deeper to see other potentials. Last Year's

Il Lombardia 2023 Betting Favourites

Date: Saturday, October 7th Il Lombardia, held since 1905, used to be called the Giro di Lombardia before the Giro grand tour wanted to lay copyright claim to the ‘Giro’ term and make it their own. Il Lombardia, nicknamed the “classic of the falling dead leaves”, is one of the

Tour of Slovakia 2023 Betting Favourites

Country: Slovakia Level: .1 Total Stages: 5 Prior Year's Top 10 Harder course than last year's. More climbing and less flat. Last year's also had a prologue so take that into account. Cerny made up a lot of time on his competitors in the

Circuit Franco-Belge 2023 Betting Favourites

Level: Pro Distance: 191.5km Can De Lie capitalize on his form and survive the change in course this year to a heavier mountain terrain? We think not - but we're open to the potential. The rise at the end may be perfect for Corbin Strong, but unfortunately

Tour of Luxembourg 2023 Betting Favourites

Country: Luxembourg Level: Pro Total Stages: 5 Time Trials: 1 The startlist is pretty packed already with some punchy names like Felix Gall, Thibaut Pinot (last race before retirement?), David Gaudu, Matteo Jorgenson, Richard Carapaz, Ilan Van Wilder, and how can we forget Julian Alaphillipe. Skjelmose won the TT last

Super 8 (Primus) Classic 2023 Betting Favourites

While MVDP will be making a showing given the startlist, there's no climbs to speak of in the last 10kms and this one will likely be a bunch sprint. Who knows though given the Mads Pedersen should also be making an appearance and that man has been on.

GP de Wallonie 2023 Betting Favourites

Likely a similar result to last year depending on the startlist. MVDP is once again showing up and will likely reclaim the thrown. Prior Year's Results Course Elevation: 2836m The course is roughly the same as the prior year. At least the important part - specifically the end,

GP de Fourmies / La Voix du Nord 2023 Betting Favourites

Country: France Level: Pro Style: One Day Matthieu van Der Poel will be making a rainbow striped showing at this race. Will he be able to knock off the sprinters of the likes of Groenewegen, Ewan & Demare? Probably is out bet. Trentin has been looking strong recently but there&

Grand Prix Cycliste de Quebec 2023 Betting Favourites

Country: Canada Level: World Tour Style: One Day Same startlist as the Montreal race. So you'll have Matej Mohorič with a chip on his shoulder from the Renewi Tour he was training for, and hence have motivation, but will probably do better on the harder Montreal course. Healy,
