There is no way we can miss Wiggins progress and this stage 9 of Tour de France finds him at our blog with a solid bet on him to overtake Kreuziger in the mountains. What we have today are massive climbs and tricky finish to level the gaps. Hats down on Tourmalet and exactly there we will see the actual form of all contenders when it comes to climb the high category. I will watch it with a mind of the upcoming Mont Ventoux hell. With climbs so far from the finish do not bet on any of the favorites again to win the stage. It will be a breakaway group - I fancy the chances of Sylvain Shavanel (12.00) or David Moncoutié (9.00) to continue the glorious French performance. Back to my main bet for today (match ups stage 9 market at bet365): Bradley lies 46 seconds adrift of yellow jersey holder. That means he will do his best to keep it close with the favorites all day long - I saw him climbing in the last couple of days with an amazing style helped by his team mate and leader Vande Velde. If Wiggins managed to stay that close from the yellow before the time trial he will have all the chances to produce a massive upset in the overall standings. On the other hand Kreuziger seems not enough prepared for the mountains. Yes, he was with the favorites yesterday but missed the train on a couple of occasions, specially after Schleck brothers attack on the climb. The tempo let him save his pride but I saw he is a bit away of his usual form in the mountains. However Kreuziger made it in the time trial prologue and is still with chances for top 10 finish overall if he repeat it later. I will take 1.57 as a worthy shot at Wiggins to stay closer to Astana train.
