Tour Méditérannéen - Gutierrez Palacio vs Top 3 Cycling betting preview

This is a pick for Gutierrez Palacio to finish among the top 3 riders in the tommorow's stage of Tour Méditérannéen. It looks like he is enjoying this tour, as he participated in the mass sprint at the end of the Thursday's stage - finished 8th. On Wednesday he finished 10th. No wonder, as he is the leader - thanks to the win of his team in the TTT on the first day of the tour. But as I said, those were stages finished in a mass sprint.

Tommorow's stage finish is on top of Mont Faron (5,5 km long climb with an average gradient of 8.9%). This should be the place where the Tour Méditérannéen shuld be decided, as there this is 4th stage of 6, the others being flat. Last year Gutierrez won this stage. He is a very all-round rider, good in hills as well as in time trials.

Last year he lost the yellow jersey in another hilly stage, when he finished on 6th place. The problem was the other stage finished with a 15 km long climb, what was simply too much for Gutierrez, but this one should make him no problem.

Also this year he is going to have very strong competitors in Lövkvist from Française Des Jeux, Caucchioli from Crédit Agricole and Dessel from Ag2r Prévoyance, not talking about Serrano, but I think Gutierrez is well able to beat them all, when it comes to spurt.
