Tour Down Under - Lance Armstrong - 16-1 - 4 pts win


Lance Armstrong is quoted at a dismissive 16-1 by Stan James for the Tour Down Under. I think they are taking a big chance with quoting him at this price (as short as 9/2 elsewhere, 8-1 to lay at Betfair). Armstrong has stated he is in peak fitness (well, more fit than his last Tour De France ride). He has also stated that he is not here to win. In my opinion, this is 'Alex Furguison' style mind games. Frankly, Armstrong does not know the meaning of not giving 100% to try to win.

This is a sprinters tour with no time trials (Armstrongs strength) very few hills and last years tour was won by Andre Greipel (Cavendish's lead out man) with time bonuses from stage wins. I'd make Armstrong a 20/1 chance and have laid him on BF at 11.
