The Grand Tour is the comprehensive title given to the three most important European long distance cycle races, the Giro d'Italia, Tour de France and Tour of Spain. Two of the three Grand Tour events, the Giro d'Italia and Tour de France, as well as the World Cycling Championship make up the Triple Crown of Cycling – the most difficult and prestigious title achievable in professional bicycle racing. Tour de France Betting The Tour de France is the most recognisable name in world cycling. The Tour is raced over twenty stages, through spectacular scenery and Alps Mountain passes, adding up to a total distance between 3,000 to 4,000 km. The time that each rider achieves per stage is combined to determine the overall winner of the event. There are smaller titles competed for within the race with the holders being awarded a specific jersey. Examples of Tour de France jerseys include: The Yellow Jersey (overall time leader), Green Jersey (points leader), Polka Dot Jersey (King of the Mountains) and the White Jersey (best performing rider under 25). Lance Armstrong is the most successful rider in the history of the race, winning it seven consecutive times from 1999 to 2005, setting a plethora of new records. The Giro d'Italia Betting As part of the Grand Tour, the Giro d'Italia, also commonly known as the Giro, is one of the major stage races in professional cycling. The race is held annually in May/June over a distance of around 3,500 km. The race format is basically identical to the Tour de France. Alessandro Petacchi rode to victory in 2007, while Francesco Moser and Giuseppe Saronni hold the record for the most race wins at four each. Vuelta a España (Tour of Spain) Betting Held in Spain each September, the Vuelta a España is ranked alongside the Tour de France and the Giro in terms of cycling prestige and importance. It is a 20 stage race. Unique to the event, the overall leader wears a Golden Jersey compared to the Yellow Jersey awarded in the other two Grand Tour races. Denis Menchov won the 2007 Vuelta. Tony Rominger and Roberto Heras have both won the Tour three times. World Cycling Championships Betting Operated by the Union Cycliste Internationale, the World Cycling Championships is one of the premier events in cycling. The competition, also referred to as the UCI Road World Championships, consists of two components, a road race and an individual time trial. The Championship is not a professional event and competitors ride for national cycling teams. The winner is crowned the Cycling World Champion. |
