On the whole, the Tour de France is the marquee event of Cycling betting. But a more in-depth look reveals that there are several important events on the board this year. The Tour of Flanders is a highly respected one-day event that kicks the season off in earnest on April 4. Following that is another one-day spectacular the very next week at the Paris–Roubaix. In May comes the first grueling event with the Giro d’Italia. And then the Tour de France takes its spot-on center stage starting in late June.

Gamblers that know nothing about cycling still bet the Tour de France. Many will bet on multiple stages and handicap them. Each rider has a particular strength, whether it be mountains or faster courses. Tadej Pogacar is the most recent Tour de France winner. To be exact, he won both the general classification and the mountains classification too.
Of course, doping has been a perpetual problem for the sport. Alberto Contador, Floyd Landis, and Lance Armstrong have had titles stripped in recent years. Four-time winner Chris Froome has long been accused but never formally busted.
