Where the money goes

Markets explained

Outright winner

Backing the yellow jersey in Paris. Prices harden fast once the race hits the first summit finish, so pre-race value usually sits with the third or fourth favourite.

Stage winner

The daily market. Read the profile first: bunch sprint, breakaway day or summit finish completely changes the shortlist of realistic winners.

Points classification

Green jersey betting is about consistency and intermediate sprints, not just stage wins. Sprinters who survive the mountains win it.

King of the Mountains

Polka dot is usually won by a breakaway specialist hoovering up early points, unless a GC rider dominates the high mountains outright.

Head to head

Two named riders, one price each, decided on general classification or stage finishing position. A cleaner bet than a 176-rider field.

Top British rider

A popular UK market during the 2027 Grand Départ. Small fields mean sharper prices and fewer surprises.

Stay in control
