When you watch bicycle races, they seem chaotic, without any logic, where several athletes are in the lead, and a huge crowd of pursuers is chasing them, and it is difficult to understand how to overtake someone here. But if you look closely at this sport, you will notice patterns and promising points for placing bets. Here is the list of the best bicyclists of the season who you should watch and analyze and of course bet.
Arnaud DeMar
Yes, DeMar did not compete at the Tour de France, but his dominant performance at the Giro did the trick. The sprinter did not go to his native French grand tour due to the fact that Groupama – FDJ relied on the overall standings and Thibault Pino, but he managed to compensate for everything in Italy.
Demar won all the sprint stages in which he had a chance to fight for victory. As a result, the Frenchman took four stages and confidently became the first in the Maglia Ciclamino standings. Demar beat Sagan more confidently than Sam Bennett did at the Tour de France. Another important factor that secured Demaru’s place in the top ten is the total number of wins. In 2020, he won 14 bicycle races – more than any other professional driver. Yes, not all victories have been won at the most prestigious competitions, but the fact remains. Demar is the most winning racer of 2020.
Next year, DeMar will continue to race in Groupama – FDJ and hope for his well-coordinated sprint train. Surely he wants to visit the Tour de France, he proved that he deserves more trust than Pino. Do not miss an opportunity to bet on him.
Theo Geogan Hart
Theo Geogan Hart did a great job as a Gregari at the 2018 Criterium Dauphine. Since then, everyone has expected a breakthrough from him and high personal results. They waited for two years, but they were not there, but the situation changed dramatically in October 2020.
“Giro” Theo Geogan Hart started as assistant to Guerint Thomas, but the balance of power in INEOS Grenadiers quickly changed due to the departure of the team leader. At the beginning of the bicycle race, Theo wasted time and it seemed that he would not be able to replace Thomas as captain, but in the second week the situation began to change.
Geogan Hart got in good shape and started to advance in the overall standings. After winning the final mountain stage of the second week, he broke through to fourth place. In the third week, Geogan Hart not only passed the long-term leader in the overall standings, João Almeido, but also coped with the Team Sunweb duet – Jai Hindley and Vilko Kelderman. It all ended in a sensational overall victory. Betting on him can be a winning one.
Mathieu van der Poole
Mathieu van der Poole is another top one-day bicycle rider who has had a season of ups and downs, and a top 10 win at Ronda van Vlaanderen has guaranteed him a spot in the top 10. Immediately after the lockdown, things were not going well for van der Poole, he failed two very important starts. In both of these classics, he did not even manage to get into the top 10.
Things got better towards the end of the bicycle season. First, the driver Alpecin – Fenix became the champion of the country in the group race, then he won the stage at “Tirreno – Adriatico”, and a little later, in great style, he won the key stage and the overall standings of the BinckBank Tour. Van der Poole clearly had a form in October, only a resounding victory was lacking so that the bicycle season could be considered successful. Can be a good betting option as well.
