Brian & Melvyn Head Betting as Race Enters Final Stages
With Gaz and Yin eliminated and just four teams left, the race for the finish line in Race Across The World 2025 is heating up and Brian & Melvyn are the 2/1 favourites to win the series.
The brothers, aged 62 and 65, have consistently performed well across recent legs, showing tactical awareness, resourcefulness, and stamina as the competition has worn on.
Their closest rivals in the market are Elizabeth & Letitia, the meditation-practising sister duo from Worthing and Lancing, who opened the race in stunning form by placing 1st in the first two legs.
Now the race is hotting up with the pairs set to leave Shangri-La and head onto their next leg of the journey in the next episode.

What the expert says...
Who Can Stop the Brothers?
While Brian and Melvyn have grown into the race, Elizabeth & Letitia have shown consistent form throughout and their strong teamwork could be crucial in the final push.
Caroline and Tom, the mother and son duo, have steadily climbed up the standings with top-three finishes in recent legs and their odds of 3/1 suggest they’re a serious threat.
Fin and Sioned, the youngest team in the race, have battled well despite early inconsistency but at 6/1 they are outsiders although they could still surprise.
Gaz and Yin left the show last week after finishing last in the most recent leg of the journey.
