Cycling: 2009 Giro d'Italia

10 units staked

Boasson-Hagen wins. - 7 units.

-3 units for the stage.

Fuck you Cavendish! Boasson-Hagen made it back though but still a loss.

Good move by Boassen-Hagon. Obviously Columbia didn't want to organise a sprint. They wanted someone in the break. Cavendish attacked but couldn't get through then Boasson-Hagen was ready to counter Cavendish and got through and 5 of them got together 13km from the finish and from there it was going to be Boasson-Hagen for the win or Hunter as the other 3 aern't sprinters.

Bertolini opened it up in the last km then Brutt chased after him, Boassen-Hagen got his wheel and Hunter tried to bridge. Boasson-Hagen peeled out and got a break and Hunter couldn't catch him. Brutt is the guy that won me the stage bringing Boasson-Hargen in it.

Boasson-Hargon is an up and coming sprinter. In his early 20's, he can climb and if he can polish up a few things, he is going to be a classics specialist in future years.

If Cavendish has Boasson-Hagen leading him out in the sprints in the TDF, Cavendish will be unstoppable. Cavendish is my tip for Sunday to break through. Not sure on tomorrow's stage yet.

1 unit Joaquin Rodriguez @ $26

.5 unit Damiano Cunego @ $17

Good luck!

There will be a daredevil descender. Both riders are capable of it.

Di Luca did it again, another win for him. This guy is so strong, can't see how I could lose his pink jersey.  Odds are at 2.85 for him to win it. It sounds good to me.

Lovkvist finished 22nd good for 1 of my 2 bets.  Menchov ranked 3rd just in front of Sastre.

Went 2-1 ( +2.065 units )

Overall : 8-8 (-1.07 units)

Day off for stage 11.

Final plays!

Going against a bunch sprint with the major teams wanting a break away. Rogers will conserve his legs and so will his team-mates so Cav won't have anyone and will rely on other sprinters teams to do the work. This opens up Boasson-Hagen for a breakaway move and some of the other guys who havn't shown their stuff yet like Voekler and Millar.

1.5 unit Boasson-Hagen @ $14
1.5 unit Boasson-Hagen top 3 @ $4.25

.3 units Scarponi @ $26
.3 units Bertolini @ $41 - Unfinished business he has
.2 units Voeckler @ $41 - about time he does a break?
.2 units Miller @ $121 - about time he does a break

3 units Boasson-Hagen over Pozzato @ $2

2 units Davis over Pettacchi @ $2.96

Good luck!

It's worth a try at this value. As Di Luca said, Rogers, Menchov and himself will be within few seconds, I'll pay a certain attention to these words.

I'll give a shot to Lovkvist @ 2.55 over Basso ( Sweden TT Champ)

Rogers over Bruseghin @1.787 ( Austalian TT Champ)

All bets on Leipheimer are given money. He's a good pick @ 2.50 to win it, but Pinnacle is not offering it.

Plays :

Lovkvist @ 2.55 (3 units)

Rogers @ 1.787 ( 5 units)

Zabriskie @ 5.6 (3 units)

Rule #1 when betting on cycling.

In a grand tour TT, never back against Levi.

15 units Levi to win @ $2.45
.2 units Pinotti @ $21

H2H

3 units Siutsou over Kessiakoff @ $2.18
2 units Lovkvist over Basso @ $2.30
5 units Rogers over Bruseghin X Leipheimer over Menchov X Pinotti over Wiggins @ $3.85

Good luck!
