Cadel Evans has firmed into $2.70 with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au to win the Tour de France with favourite Brad Wiggins drifting from $2.10 to $2.25.
“We’ve taken 10 times the money for Cadel to win compared to Brad Wiggins,” sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes said. “Cadel is the best backed by a long margin.”
Punters think the race is going to be a battle between only Wiggins and Evans with Denis Menchov, Jurgen Van Den Broeck and Vincenzo Nibali all next in the market at a distant $21.
Of the remaining Australian’s, Michael Rogers and Richie Porte are given the best chance, priced at $201 each.
Simon Gerrans is at $501, Matt Lloyd is at $751 with the likes of Stuart O’Grady and Mark Renshaw at $1001.
