Tour de France 2007 - Tour de France - Stage 8

Michael Rasmussen as a two time winner of the king of the mountains is allways going to start stages like stage 8 as the favourite. If he decides to go i dont believe there is a rider in the peleton who can keep with him.

He has said he is interested in winning the stage but doesnt know if the team will let him. He has also said he is not going to go for it early. Is it a smoke screen or is he going to be true to his word? I suspect he will blast up the final climb and abandon team-mate Menchov unless someone has attacked early and is looking uncatchable in which case Rasmussen will surely pace Menchov up.

It is interesting to note that having opened up at 6.0 and 5.5 he has been supported into 5.0 and 4.5 allready.

Maybe this cash is coming in from clued up sources, maybe it is just the fact he is the most likely winner. Either way we need to be backing him at 9.0 with Bet1128 which is a huge price considering.

Probably not a great each way punt, he will either win or be out with the washing but not a bad bet at very generous odds considering who we are betting on.
