Paris-Nice: Pellizotti leads, Leipheimer wins?
Published by Halverde on 3/14/2007 at 13:29.
Our scanner isn't working for some reason, so we're going to bring you the updated betting odds for the Paris-Nice today instead. Things are all about to get sorted out in the next few days, so it could be your last chance to get some odds that are actually worth placing bets on.
Levi Leipheimer
Worryingly, Leipheimer was only second favourite to win overall when we started writing this thing two minutes ago, but he's shot up to the top spot. We're not going to be able to watch today's coverage until the highlights tonight, but now we suspect that old Levi is doing something amazing RIGHT NOW.
Odds to win: 11/5 (3.2)
Franco Pellizotti
We liked the golden-maned Italian right until the point that he went and won yesterday's stage and took the yellow jersey from David Millar. He's certainly capable of taking the overall victory, but we've made a mental note to refer to him as little more than a poor man's Pozzato from now on.
Odds to win: 4/1 (5)
Alberto Contador
What a fall from grace -- favourite for the overall to third favourite, in the space of two days. Contador is a classy rider and all that, but the current odds are suggesting that Leipheimer is the Discovery Channel rider to watch during this race.
Odds to win: 5/1 (5.8)
The odds are fluctuating a lot today. And we mean A LOT. Which in turn means that there are lots of bets being placed. However, our bank account is empty, which means that none of those bets are coming from YOU. So hop to it. Winners always welcome at Betfair!
Tomorrow
We'll discuss the fourth to sixth favourites, if the odds settle down long enough.
