The sport of cycling has three major annual events. The Giro d’Italia, Tour De France, and Vuelta a España are the sport’s three most important Cycling betting odds events. Specifically, they are known as Grand Tours, all three-week-long races broken down into daily stages. From a gambling perspective, the Grand Tour races are the only ones that draw any noticeable betting handle, and the Tour de France dwarfs the other two Grand Tour events as the Super Bowl of cycling. Naturally, The Tour de France generates more gambling activity than all other cycling events.

2024 Tour de France Recap
Namely, Tadej Pogacar did not need to attack on the final stage of the Tour de France. Defending a lead of more than five minutes in Sunday’s time trial, he was set to win the online wagering race for the third time comfortably. And for the first time in three years, anyway. But defense was not in his vocabulary during this race, and he simply could not resist another attack.
With his main Cycling lines rival Jonas Vingegaard unable to challenge him, Tadej Pogacar celebrated his Tour victory in style. To show, he scored a dominant win in the time trial ending in Nice for the 17th stage win of his already illustrious Tour career.
As a result, the 25-year-old Slovenian rider also became the first cyclist to secure the Giro d’Italia and Tour de France in the same year since Marco Pantani in 1998. Two-time defending champion Vingegaard of Denmark was second overall. He also finished the 21st and final stage in second place. Pogacar won the 34-kilometer (21-mile) time trial on the French Riviera’s roads from Monaco to Nice in 45 minutes and 24 seconds. Meanwhile, Vingegaard was 1 minute, 3 seconds behind him, and Belgian rider Remco Evenepoel 1:14 back in the third spot.
Overall, Vingegaard finished 6:17 behind Pogacar, and Evenepoel was third, 9:18 behind Pogacar. His other Tour wins came in 2020 and 2021. Two-time defending champion Vingegaard of Denmark was second overall. He also finished the 21st and final stage in second place.
