Tour de France Explained
Widely recognized as the crowning event in professional cycling, the Tour de France shares the spotlight with the Giro d’Italia and Vuelta a España as part of the three Grand Tours. It parallels the significance of the Indianapolis 500 in motorsport, which explains why betting enthusiasts actively engage with the event. A plethora of betting odds for the Tour de France are readily accessible from leading online sportsbooks.
The current format of the Tour is designed around 21 individual stages, scattered over 23 days, with two days allotted for rest. There are betting odds on offer for several stages, particularly for the ones that feature a mass start. Depending on the landscape, these stages are categorized as “flat”, “hilly”, or “mountainous”.
Top performers aren’t just rewarded with a place on the podium, but also with time bonuses. The first three finishers are awarded 10, 6, and 4 seconds respectively.
Among the mountain stages, the rise of Alpe d’Huez particularly stands out for its prestige and difficulty. Often, the weather plays spoilsport, leading to alterations in this part of the race route due to poor conditions.

| Tadej Pogacar | +115 |

The most straightforward bet in Tour de France betting is the outright bet, where one predicts the overall winner of the Tour de France. This option is typically available for most of the year, unless significant changes necessitate its removal. As the race draws nearer, usually during the week leading up to it, a wider array of sports betting options become available.
Among these options is the “Team Classification” market, where one can wager on the winning team of the Tour de France. This award, introduced in 1930, recognizes the best-performing team; since 2011, the calculation is based on the combined times of the team’s top three riders per stage, excluding time bonuses and penalties.
The “Young Rider Classification” is another popular online sports betting market. Introduced in 1975, this market rewards the best young rider under a specified age limit, currently set at 26 years old. The leader in this category dons a white jersey, distinguishing them from the general classification leader who wears yellow.
Another notable award is the “King of the Mountains“, granted to the race’s best climber, officially referred to as the Mountains classification in the Tour de France.
In addition to the aforementioned markets, betting on a top 10 finish is a popular choice. Instead of wagering on the overall winner, bettors can predict whether a cyclist will secure a place within the top 10. The odds for this bet tend to be shorter due to the higher probability of winning.
