2009 Results Tour de France
Contador cruised down the Champs-Elysees to win the Tour for a second time Sunday after 2,141 miles links three weeks of racing. He repelled many challenges in the mountains, excelled in the two time-trials -- winning a pivotal race against the clock in the 18th stage -- and won the first Alpine stage.
Tour de France History
Maurice Garin won the inaugural Tour de France in 1903 but fell from grace a year later when Le Tour organisers disqualified him for taking a train through part of the route. The number Tour de France betting options grows with every passing year. Most followers of Le Tour have an opinion as to which cyclist will finish the race in the yellow jersey or bet on the winner of each stage.
Tour de France Betting Online
Betting on the 2011 Tour de France at IslandCasino is a great way to increase your enjoyment of the most famous event on the international cycling calendar. Hard though it is to believe, 'Le Tour' as its fans like to call it, started out as a marketing exercise for a French newspaper.
For example, you may want to bet on a Frenchman taking stage honours on Bastille Day or Jan Ullrich winning the first gruelling mountain stage in the Alps.
IslandCasino posts prices on the three most significant jerseys (yellow, green and polka dot) before the race begins and revises them at regular intervals as the peloton makes it way to the finishing line in Paris. These options fall under futures betting and are extremely popular. Bet on the green jersey (points classification - Maillot Vert) and polka dot jersey (King of the Mountains - Maillot Blanc à Pois Rouges) classifications.
