Cycling: 2009 Vuelta a Espana

Actually make that 5 units Boom over Herrero @ $1.60

Lost Sanchez for the win. He came second
Lost the two top 10’s. – Marchante in 22^nd position. Valjavec in 30^th position.

Gomez Marchante finished in 22^nd position. Danielson abandoned.
Valjavec finished 30^th. 53.34 behind, Fuglsang finished 56^th. 1 hour and 28 minutes behind

Moncoutie won the KOM jersey. 186 points. De La Fuente was second on 99 points. – So my predictions there were spot on. I wish I used my brain and jumped on Moncoutie when he was around 7’s.

+10.04 for the futures.

So far +41.21 for the Vuelta.

As you can see, I was very close on a few occasions and I've turned around the year. If you followed me the last few months and you lost, sorry. If you followed me now, you're laughing. If you only just started following me, you're laughing.

Eli - have you been tailing us? The write-up I did for the time trial tonight was spot on. Hope that helped people make a decision.

At this stage, I may not place a bet tomorrow. But stuff it, I'm quite happy ending with 30 units in the positive. So I may just throw 11 units on Greipel to win and see if I can crack 50.

I've learnt a lot this year with cycling compared to other years. Cycling has changed over the past 24 months, it is getting a bit cleaner, you can tell.

Bet live and stick with head to heads.

Next year will be even better.

5 units against Greipel @ 1.60 He's too far

I cracked the 50 unit mark. I was close to there when Greipel came home 26-1 earlier in the tour.

As you can see, I won less than half the stages, so I'm not that consistent but if you look at my losses, you can see that I was close to the money on numerous occasions.

Hopefully I can ride the form over the last few days into the worlds. If I can, you blokes are going to get rich.
