Tour De France 2011 Betting Odds Make Alberto Contador Favourite For Three In A Row
Wednesday 15 June 2011 at 10:45
 The Tour De France 2011 is now just a couple of weeks away with the famous cycling event starting on Saturday July 2nd and finishing on Sunday July 24th and the latest Tour De France 2011 Betting Odds suggest that Alberto Contador is likely to make it a third win in a row.
Contador Bidding For Third Victory In A Row
Alberto Contador first won the Tour De France in 2007 and has also won the event in 2009 and 2010 confirming that he is the dominant force in the Tour De France at the moment. The bookies seem to be running scared from the likelihood of a third win in a row for the Spaniard and those looking to back Contador in the Tour De France 2011 Betting Odds can only get 4/6 with Boylesports, Stan James and William Hill. Contador’s fourth Tour De France win would still leave him three victories short of the record seven times Tour De France champion Lance Armstrong but he could still reach that total with time on his side.
Andy Schleck The Clear Second Favourite Again
The biggest threat to Alberto Contador making it three in a row this year is very likely to be Andy Schleck who is the only other rider that the bookies give any real chance to. The talented rider from Luxembourg finished second to Contador last year in the Tour De France and it seems likely we will be seeing the same result again as he is the clear second favourite at 9/4 with Paddy Power. After Schleck there is a huge gap to Cadel Evans who is 33/1 with Bet365, Ivan Basso and Frank Schleck who are both 33/1 with Sprotingbet and also Samuel Sanchez who is 33/1 with Blue Square. The most popular 33/1 shot though could be Britain’s Bradley Wiggins who is that price with Victor Chandler, Wiggins could be very popular with each way punters.
