Cycling Betting

The popularity of betting on cycling continues to grow with several different markets available for you to get involved in. We cover all popular cycling events including the Tour de France, Olympics, World Cycling Championships, and one-day races.

 

What cycling events can you bet on?

The three grand tours of cycling are the most important races on the cycling calendar: the Giro d'Italia, Tour de France and Vuelta a España. These are all three-week stage races of over 2,000 kilometres, taking place every year, they are thrilling events for cycling enthusiasts to bet on.

Spring Classics are the Monuments. They are major one-day road racing events held in Northern Europe, which take place in the months of April and May: Tour of Flanders, Paris-Roubaix, Amstel Gold Race, Liège–Bastogne–Liège and Flèche Wallonne.

Every year in September, professional cyclists compete in the UCI Road World Championships, another big cycling event you can place a bet on. The winner is regarded as the World Cycling Champion and is entitled to wear a Rainbow Jersey during road races or stage races for an entire year. And that’s not all, the Olympics cycling event takes place every four years and offers many exciting opportunities for cycling betting.

What is head-to-head betting?

Head-to-head betting involves betting on two riders racing against each other to win a stage of a race. In head-to-head betting, you place your bet on two riders fighting out a finish at a race and whoever crosses the line first wins. It's also known as ‘Directa’ or ‘Head on’.

Cycling betting tips: What to consider?

The first thing to consider when betting on cycling is the race schedule. You need to assess whether you can watch the races both live and on replay. Then look at the history of the rider, their interests, and their lifestyle – you want to look at anything that could potentially affect their performance. Next, look at each race with regard to the conditions, weather and terrain. Being a professional cyclist requires being able to endure the toughest physical tests so it's important to consider a rider's physiotherapy history as well as any injuries from previous races.
