The 2013 Tour de France: The Biggest Race in Cycling
The 2013 Tour de France is just around the corner, and this guest post from Mark at Ladbrokes provides a first look at who’s favored to win the 100th edition of this grand tour.
The Tour de France: the biggest race in cycling
It’s one of the most eagerly anticipated events of the sporting calendar and attracts millions of viewers around the world. Where many other races fail to capture the public’s imagination, the Tour de France succeeds.
Last year, a dramatic race saw the charismatic Brit, Bradley Wiggins, secure the Yellow Jersey, but what does this year have in store?
Cancellara in check
In the run-up to cycling’s marquee event, one of the in-form riders is Fabian Cancellara who recently secured an impressive victory in the Paris-Roubaix Race, his third win of the race in a row. He’s likely to be one of the major threats to Wiggins’ crown, especially as he has had victories this season at the Tour of Flanders and the E3 Harelbeke.
The Swiss ace had mixed fortunes in 2012, with an injury to his right collarbone keeping him out of some of the biggest meetings of the year. He also left last year’s tour to support his wife at the birth of his child.
However, he’s begun 2013 with a bang, and with the Tour less than three months away, it seems that he’s coming into form at the right time.
A Successful Defense?
A lot of pressure rests on the shoulders of Bradley Wiggins. After a phenomenally successful 2012, a nation of keen cycling fans expects him to at least come close to repeating his heroics this year. Despite being in a good position to retain the Yellow Jersey, Wiggins has a packed schedule.
Recently, the 32-year-old had suggested that he might compete in the Vuelta a Espana. What that could mean is Wiggins may focus a lot of his attention on that particular race having already done it on the biggest stage of all. This race is in September so Wiggins may use the Tour de France as a spring-board to work on his form.
Many believe that Wiggins is in with a reasonable chance of winning the Tour for a second year running. He’s 14/1 with Ladbrokes, though the favourite is Alberto Contador, while Chris Froome is also ahead of him in the betting. Cancellara is currently a ranked outsider at the moment you may start to see this change.
Froome Could Win
Chris Froome rides for the same team as Wiggins and will be a contender too. In March Wiggins was accused of “hiding” in the tour of Oman by fellow rider Vincenzo Nibali. After losing time on the first day he resided to helping and supporting Froome.
So far this year Froome has won the Tour of Oman and Criterium International overall, both of which he took a stage win. He also finished second overall in the Tirreno Adriatico again winning one of the mountain stages of the tour.
Alberto Contador Favourite
Despite finishing behind Froome in the Tour of Oman and Tirreno-Adriatico Contador is the favourite for the Tour de France. He has won the tour twice, once in 2007 and once in 2009. He has also been at the centre of doping scandals both in 2006, when he and his team were associated with the Operacion Puerto doping case and again after the 2010 Tour de France when traces of clenbuterol were found in a urine sample that he gave.
Another tour on the cards
While male riders have the Tour de France to look forward to, what does the future hold for their female equivalents?
Leading rider Emma Pooley is the latest big name to suggest that women deserve their own Tour de France, not to mention a busier calendar.
A women’s race would make the whole event more inclusive and it would help to showcase the depth of talent in cycling as a whole. In the meantime, fans will have at least one race to look forward to this year, but if campaigners are successful, two could take place in 2014.

Ceko. Sebab, Marquez merasa dirinya sebetulnya mampu untuk meraih pole
position.

oleh pebalap muda Spanyol itu. Akan tetapi, Marquez sedikit kecewa karena gagal
memanfaatkan keuntungan terkait bannya.
“Aku tidak sepenuhnya senang karena aku punya kepercayaan diri dan
determinasi untuk bersaing meraih pole. Aku tak bisa memanfaatkan ban dengan
baik karena ada deretan pebalap dan beberapa lainnya menuggu untuk masuk,”
kata Marquez.
“Terkait balapan, aku merasa percaya diri karena aku nyaman dengan motorku
dan aku punya sebuah dasar yang bagus dan kecepatan pebalap. Jika balapan
berlangsung kering, aku siap bersaing untuk merebut kemenangan.” tutupnya.

Why is Fabian Cancellara being mentioned as a potential winner? He is a time trialist and a one day classics rider. He cannot climb, he will be riding the tour to win stages and help Andy Schleck win. He is definitely an imposing rider but i just can’t understand how anybody with any knowledge of cycling could consider him a legitimate contender
Agreed. Cancellara is not even a top 10 contender. I can’t see past froome or contador. In my eyes the real question mark is who will fill that third spot. So many riders to look at. Quintana is polling surprisingly well in the book makers eyes but my money is on Nibali to back up from a very impressive Giro. I’ll be gunning for Cadel though!
Froome’s got this race in the bag. His form right now is scary. Barring an injury, we think that he’ll be in Yellow in Paris. We also take Wiggins at his word that he’ll be racing for the Giro and Vuelta. Wiggins is a man for image.
Being the first Brit to win the Vuelta, the Giro, not to mention having the Tour in tow, would be much more significant, in his worldview, than getting his second tour win. He’s at an interesting junction as he’s not getting any younger, he’s super strong, but he has Froome in the same stable. That relationship probably won’t work after this year.
Regarding other contenders, Contador can’t be counted out, but he’s just not the same rider post-doping ban. As much as we hate to say it, Cadel’s entering the twilight of his career. Van Garderen is an exciting young rider, but he lacks the experience to pull it off in the face of Sky. Nibali can’t stand up to the time-trials.
Well, that’s our opinion at least.
Sounds good to me. It’s going to be interesting to come back to the comments from this post once the Tour is completed so see who called it.
I don’t know who will win, but I can’t wait to watch the 100th anniversary.
I’m with you, JD.
yawn
Contador is a big threat, but I would love to see Cadel Evans win again. (Yes, I am biased towards the Aussies). Unfortunately, Evans’ form has not been so great lately. With the real possibilty that he will ride Giro d’Italia, do you think he will use the race as preperation for the TdF or concentrate on winning Giro?
I like Evans but I don’t think he’s at the level he was when he won the tdf. I think its time for another Aussie ride to make their way to the front.
I agree, Ed. I like Evans but just don’t see him rising to the top again.
My money is on Contador this year.
You can never rule out Contador, can you?
This is a good overview of what is to come this summer. Like every year, it can be anyone’s race. At this point last year not many people would have predicted Wiggins to win and definitely would not have thought Froome would perform so well. My thoughts are that Wiggins will repeat or come very close.
Thanks Roger. I can’t wait to see how things will play out this Summer.
