Monday 06 July 2009 at 12:33
 The Tour de France is now underway and Lance Armstrong is still a very good price to win his eigth Tour de France this month.
2007 Winner Favourite To Recapture Title
The race last over three weeks in its entirety and the current favourite to win is the Spaniard Alberto Contador who is currently odds on for victory at 8/11 with Blue Square, Paddy Power and Coral. Contador won the Tour de France in 2007 and he is clearly well fancied to regain his title.
Lance Is Back From Retirement And Ready To Make It Eight
Lance Armstrong has won the Tour de France seven times in his amazing career and he came out of retirement last year. Everyone has been eagerly awaiting seeing the American’s return to the race and he can be backed at 11/2 with Paddy Power, Blue Square and Boylesports to make it eight wins in the Tour de France. Surely he is overpriced as you can still bet each way and he would be a great bet to at least fill the framce.
Winning Nationality And Last Year’s Winner
Last year’s winner is another Spaniard, Carlos Sastre, and he is fancied to ride another big race at 14/1 with Coral. Spain has a big hand in this year’s race and you can back a Spanish winner at around 3/4 on Betfair. If you want to back an American winner you can get around 10/3 on Betfair.
