Popular cycle events to bet on

While a number of cycle races are held across the globe every year, there are three significant cycling events that tend to bring out more bets than all of the rest.

Tour de France

The Tour de France is an annual men’s multiple stage bicycle race usually held in France, while also occasionally passing through nearby countries. The event usually takes place in the month of July and consists of 21 day-long stages over the course of 23 days. It is one of the most popular cycling events in the world and receives more media coverage than any other cycling event.

Due to its massive popularity, more folks end up betting on the Tour de France than any other cycling event around the world.

Giro d’Italia

The Giro d’Italia is another prevalent multiple-stage cycling race. The event takes place in the month of May before the Tour de France and is usually held in Italy. Many cycling fans love this tour as it’s easier to interact with the riders. And just like the cycling fans, Giro d’Italia is popular among bettors too.

Vuelta a Espana

The Vuelta a Espana is an annual multi-stage cycling event that typically takes place in August and September each year. It is the last of the three primary races which are popular among sports bettors. As the name suggests, Vuelta a Espana takes place as a cycling tour of Spain.

A quick guide to track cycle betting

There are two main forms of cycling: tour racing and track racing. In tour cycling, cycling teams will come together and race across a month in order to determine the winner. On the other hand, teams and countries race against each other and the clock in track cycling.

When it comes to track cycling, there are varying lengths and styles that can make the sport somewhat confusing. Here are some of the most common styles to look out for.

Individual pursuit

This is a track cycling event where two cyclists begin the race from a stationary position on the opposite side of the track. Here the winner is the cyclist who completes the required number of laps before the other.

Time trial

The time trial is the event where individual cyclists or teams are sent out at intervals to cover a specified distance on the road course. Here, the contestant with the fastest time for the distance wins.

Sprint

This is somewhat similar to the individual pursuit, with the difference being that two or sometimes four riders start next to each other. The aim is still to beat the other rider(s) to the finish line, but there are different tactics involved here.

Keirin

This race follows a speed-controlled motorbike on a certain part of the race. Cyclists must remain behind the bike, which gradually increases the speed. The bike disappears at a certain point during the race and the cyclists must then sprint for the finish.
