Biggest Betting Events in Cycling

Cycling is very popular in Europe, although the Grand Tours do reach a global audience as well. Tour de France is known to every cycling fan as the most popular and challenging race. This race comprises 21 stages, each mapping a different region and bringing its own difficulties. Stages include time trial, mountain, and mass start. The Tour de France dates back to 1903 and now takes place annually in July. 

Giro d’Italia is the second most significant event in cycling. It is a 21-stage race carried out over three weeks. Time trials (individual and team) and mass start stages make up the race. Most of the stages occur in Italy, but some may take participants to countries in its near vicinity. It is held annually in May-June. 

Vuelta a España is the third biggest Grand Tour held in Europe. It started in 1935 and is not as old as the other two Grand Tours. Many believe it to be the least challenging among the Grand Tours. Though it’s not all that different, with a similar 21-stage format taking place over 23 days. It is a great starting place for those interested in Grand Tours.

Best Bets in Cycling

Here you’ll find listed some of the most common types of betting involved in cycling.

King of the Mountain

Only a rider that excels at climbing through the mountain stages in the Grand Tours can win this unique title. With this type of bet, you place a bet on the cyclist you believe will win and receive the title of King of the Mountain.

Young Rider Bet

This is another reward that riders under 25 can claim if they gather the maximum number of points. In this type of bet, you predict which young rider will win this title. 

Stage Winner Bet

As the Grand Tours are made up of multiple stages, each of varying difficulty, some cyclists tend to perform better at some stages depending on their potential. This type of bet allows you to factor that in and place a bet on which stage you think a cyclist is most likely to win based on his past performance. 

Race winner Bet

This type of bet is pretty straightforward. If a particular cyclist is shining brightly and you believe he will win the race, you can bet on him to win. 

Top 3/Top 10

These types of wagers are perfect for when you’re not sure a cyclist will win but are confident he will at least end up in the top rankings. For example, you bet on a cyclist to finish in the top 3. Your bet will win if he places third or higher. Similarly, for the top 10, you stake a bet on a cyclist to finish in tenth place, and if he places tenth or higher, your bet is successful.
