Paolo Bettini

What else is to say about the great man? 2004 Olympic Games road race champion, current world road race champion and Italian road race champion and winner of more classic races than i could remember or list.

He can win bunch sprints, he can climb, he can win on solo breakaways, for me he is the most complete rider in the peleton and a threat on every stage bar the really mountaineous ones.

bettini has won stages in the Grio for the last 2 years. Not only this but he has been allowed to wear a special jersey for the opening 10 days (which will be auctioned for charity) as word champion in his own countries grand tour. The Italians love Bettini and he loves to perform for them.

He will be desperate to give them a stage victory and we all saw what a fired up Bettini could do in the world championship race.

You can get 2.0 he doesnt win a stage with Nordicbet and 2.0 he does win a stage with Unibet. A 100% book for us and the chance to flip a coin and see which way it lands. For me that coin is weighted heavily on the side he will win a stage.

Bettini has won the points jersey for the last 2 years and i couldnt put anyone of backing him to make it 3 in a row at odds around 3.0 altho its not for me.

With so many ways of winning i prefer to back him just to win a stage, something he has proven more than capable of in the past.
