Not one to be thinking of Christmas this early, but Chris Froome, the cyclist currently contesting the Tour De France is 33-1 with PP.
Winning the Tour may not be enough, but this year he is targeting the unprecedented double in the Olympic Time Trial in Rio. This Olympic course appears to be tailor made to his style of racing.
It’s been reported that his preparation has been to peak in the last week of the Tour this year instead of before the Tour, this will hopefully enable him to carry on his fitness towards Rio.
Things are looking good as he is now odds on for the Tour and a very big looking 11-2 with Bet365 for Rio ( 2-1 in most places ) If he was to do the double you would imagine lots of cyclists will appreciate the magnitude of the achievment and vote accordingly.
33-1 may look very big in 2 weeks time
Best price 25-1 @ Bet Victor, generally 20’s and as low as 12’s now.
Barring accidents 25-1 will look very big in 2 weeks.
Huge performance today in the time trial today from Mr.Froome which takes his price down to a best price of 20/1 for SPOTY.
With stage 12 next in the TDF an expected dominant display from him should bring his odds into 14-1 after the race.
Unbelievable scenes at the TDF. Mr. Froome ran up the mountain without a bike today to prove his greatness, hopefully a lot of coverage in the media on his superhuman exploits
Mr. Froome is now 1-33 for the TDF and 4-1 for the time trial at Rio. Best price now is 18-1 @ BV which still looks a decent price for SPOTY
Mr. Froome wins the TDF in a canter to become the First Briton to win 3 TDF which brings his price down to as low as 7-1 for SPOTY.
After the race he announces he is aiming now for an incredible 2 Olympic golds at Rio. He is now down to Evens for the time trial due to the odds on favourite Tom Dumoulin breaking his wrist in an accident towards the end of the Tour.
Also he has announced that he will aim at the Vuelta ( Tour of Spain ) after the Olympics with an aim of becoming the only the second rider in history to win both Tours in the same year.
Mr. Froome’s date with destiny arrives on Wednesday. Tom Dumoulin is racing now after his broken wrist 2 weeks ago and has become favourite for the time trial.
I have laid half my 13/2 Time trial bet off @5/4 so now have a free SPOTY bet at 33’s and a profit overall if he loses the time trial.
It will be some spectacle to watch these guys go over this course against the clock.
Hopefully everyone comes back safe and sound at the end of the day.
Good luck with this botchy.
You’re sat on some good odds there…
