NIBALI BITING AT HEELS OF TOUR FAVOURITES

Italian Vincenzo Nibali has emerged as some sort of a threat to Tour de France favourites Chris Froome ($1.90) and Alberto Contador ($3.00) after winning the second stage and claiming the leader’s Yellow Jersey.

Online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au has trimmed Nibali’s price in from $12 to $8.00 to leave him on the third line of betting.

Meantime the retirement of Mark Cavendish has all but handed Slovakian star Peter Sagan the Green Jersey title for best sprinter – Sagan’s price has been slashed from $1.52 to an almost unbackable $1.17!

“Cavendish was the only real threat to Sagan in race for the Green Jersey so you’d think Sagan only needs to stay on his bike to take out that title,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Christian Jantzen.
