Two British legends will be absent, with Chris Froome injured and Mark Cavendish not selected by his team, but here’s our top predictions from the Tour de France 2019 odds:

Outright winner – Egan Bernal @ 7/4

Geraint Thomas was a surprise winner for Britain 12 months ago and has obvious claims of retaining the title, with runner-up Tom Dumoulin and third-placed Froome sidelined this time around. However, Thomas also heads into this event under a cloud after crashing out of the recent Tour de Suisse, which was eventually won in convincing fashion by Ineos team-mate Bernal. The official party line is that both riders will compete on an even footing here, but the 22-year-old Colombian is definitely the man on the rise and seems better equipped to establish his superiority over Thomas in the mountain stages.

Points classification – Peter Sagan @ 9/20

The Slovakian speedster made it six green jersey triumphs in seven years last term, having only lost out by being disqualified for dangerous riding 12 months earlier. Peter the Great will have the full support of a hard-working Bora-Hansgrohe team and has the all-round ability to compete for more prizes than most other sprinters. His form has been less convincing this season, with a run of three straight World Road Race Championship wins halted by Alejandro Valverde, but a recent Tour de Suisse success showed his well-being and the 29-year-old continues to look a cut above the rest.

King of the Mountains – Warren Barguil @ 11/2

Julian Alaphilippe dominated this classification last year, but we’re hoping Barguil can win back the polka dot jersey this season. The Frenchman was an emphatic winner in 2017 when riding for Team Sunweb, picking up two individual stages and also the combativity award. After switching to a new set-up last term, Barguil could only manage a distant second place, but the Arkea-Samsic team has been built around him and everything should be spot on after a French national road race victory.

History

The history of this event can help you bet on the Tour de France. It’s certainly worth researching previous races and stages – all can help you pick the right wagers when you want to bet on the Tour de France.

The prestigious Tour de France is enshrouded in history. The first-ever race was held in 1903, founded by newspaper editor Henri Desgrange and sports reporter George Lefevre. Initially created to help promote sales of L’Auto, the first Tour de France featured six stages, starting and ending in Paris and covering Lyon, Marseille, Toulouse, Bordeaux and Nantes.

Stage 3 Tour De France Map

There was a huge problem in attracting riders to compete in the inaugural race. High costs and issues with the format seemed to put off many potential competitors. To increase the number of participants, the entry fee was halved and prize money increased.

The race began with 60 racers. However, many riders found the course just too gruelling, and by the end of the fourth stage, only 24 competitors remained.

Of these, Maurice Garin became the first-ever Tour de France winner. Garin won three stages and was Race Leader throughout the Tour.

Early Years

The Tour de France has been struck by controversy throughout its history. First-year winner Garin was disqualified from the second Tour de France in 1904, allegedly for cheating. Eventual winner Henri Cornet only received the number one spot after those finishing in the top four positions were disqualified.

The first rider to win consecutive titles was Lucien Petit-Breton, who won both 1907 and 1908 Tours. A year later, the first non-Frenchman won the event, when Luxembourg’s Francois Faber took the crown.

Introduction Of Yellow Jersey

Yellow Jersey is synonymous with the Tour de France. Introduced in 1919, Eugene Christophe was the first rider to wear it.

Five Times Winners

Map

To date, four men have won the Tour de France on five separate occasions. The first man to do this was Jacques Anquetil of France. Eddy Merckx, Bernard Hinault and Miguel Indurain have since accomplished the same feat. Great Britain’s Chris Froome has won four and could join the five-times Champions in the 2021 Tour de France.

Controversy

As we touched upon earlier, the Tour de France has been subject to much controversy throughout its history. There have been many Tour de France winners who have been stripped of their titles.

The most famous example is seven-times Champion Lance Armstrong. Armstrong had his titles removed.

Australia At The Tour De France

The first Australians to participate in the Tour de France were Iddo Munro and Don Kirkham, who took part in 1914. Australia’s first yellow jersey holder was Phil Anderson in 1981, followed by Stuart O’Grady, Bradley McGee, Robbie McEwan, Cadel Evans and Simon Gerrans.

To date, Cadel Evans is the only Australian to have won the Tour de France. Evans was successful in the 2011 event, riding for the BMC Racing Team.

Tour De France Prize Money

Tour de France prize money started as 20,000 Francs for the overall winner, with 3,000 Francs awarded to the winner at the end of each day.

There are separate cash prizes awarded to the following:

  • Overall Winner
  • Stage Winners
  • Points Classification Winner
  • Mountains Classification Winner
  • Young Rider
  • Team Classification

The winner of Tour De France 2021 will receive €500,000, just under $800,000.

Tour De France Distance

The distance for this year’s tournament is 3,383 kilometres or 2,102 miles. This is slightly shorter than the 2020 Tour, which had a distance of 3,470 kilometres.

A good idea, when you bet on the Tour de France, is to research how long each Stage is. Certain riders perform better over longer distances than short. Similarly, particular riders suit riding flat surfaces than across the hills.
