Bradley Wiggins

[ThemanwiththeSTATS]

Just a quick question for the cycling experts out there. Is Bradley Wiggins value at double figure odds ? He's obviously going the giro and history says you can't concentrate on the giro and expect to win the Tour de France but he was quite dominant last year. I'm looking at putting some long range bets on both tours and would love some input from the cycling mad.

No he isn't value. As it stands Chris froome is sky's man for the tour. Sent from my GT-I8190N using PL Forum

Re: Bradley Wiggins Well if Froomey broke his collar bone and couldn't enter or pulled out of the race it would look a great punt. But as addpea said, he's there in a support role. Value at the moment looks to be Nibali (3rd last year & improving) at an incredible 50/1 & Quintana at 33/1 who won in the Basque Country and showed he can time trial as well as climb.

Re: Bradley Wiggins Actually Nibali is so long as he's primarily after the Giro. But 50/1 still looks big since Astana don't really have anyone else for the GC, and if he comes out of the Giro with decent form I'd expect him to go to Le Tour.

Re: Bradley Wiggins I think Fuglsang has been given the team leader role for Astana at the Tour. It was announced somewhere.
