Tour de France Betting - Stage 7

Tour de France betting update:  Broke even on stage 6 - 2 wins & 2 losses (overall 4 -4, even).

Stage 7 is finally here.  Its an epic day that ends with a brutal climb up long, steep bitch.  Take it easy though, cause we really don't know who'll be ready to rock n roll in the high mountains.  These are the Pyrenees, which are steeper than the monsters in the Alps.  True climbers usually have a sizable advantage here.

I'm going to start off with Zubeldia -200 over Popovych.  Zubeldia has always been able to handle the steep climbs, but the tactics of his previous squad were terrible.  He's been riding great even in the flatter stages and I'm pretty sure he'll be leading the Astana guys up a majority of the final climb.  Popo is going good too, but he'll be used to drive the A-train early on. 

Gerdemann +100 over Vandevelde.  Gerdemann will do fine. I think Vandevelde's lack of prep due to injury will show up tomorrow when everyone opens the pain locker.

Sastre +235 over Evans.  Evans is more of a grinder, better suited for the Alps.  Sastre is ridiculous and gets better as the mountains get super-steep. Tomorrow will be his day.
