Welcome to Cycling Betting

Pro Cycling race previews from a Cycling Betting expert.

So this used to be my website for all my analysis, previews and tips on pro cycling races. But time constraints mean that I no longer have time to do my long previews on this site. 

The good news is that I continue to tip winners over on my Discord Cycling Betting Service channel.. We write short analysis and commentary on our picks and look for value bets over quantity of bets or a scatter-gun approach like some. And the results speak for themselves:

2025 YTD (to 4/5/2025):

Points staked: 168.1 pts

Points returned: 220.7 pts

Profit: 52.6 pts 

ROI: 31.%

Subscription is just £30 a month for non-Grand Tour months and £40 a month for GT months. We can always work out a package price too if you want to sign up for a 3-month or season-long pass. Reach out to me here or at @cyclingbetting over on X

TDF 2022 Stage 1

Copenhagen ITT

July 1, 13kms

The Grand Depart of the 2022 Tour de France sees the riders tackle a fast and furious individual time trial in the Danish capital Copenhagen. Here's a quick and dirty preview of the first stage.. 

Omloop Het Nieuwsblad 

Ghent - Ninove

Sat 29th February, 204.2kms

It's long been said that the Omloop was the 'traditional' start of the season, the 'purists' almost disregarding the earlier races of the season as 'training races'. I sort of used to be one, looking forward to the start of the European season proper..

TDF 2021 Stage 2

Perros Guirec - Mur de Bretagne

June 27th, 183.5kms

Like stage 1, there are again 6 categorised climbs on this stage, but unlike stage 1 where they were spread out from start to finish, in this stage there are five of them packed in to the last 80kms, including the finish on top of the Mur de Bretagne.

TDF 2021 Stage 1

Brest - Landerneau

June 26, 197.8kms

The Grand Depart of the 2021 Tour de France sees the riders visit cycling-mad Brittany and the race kicks off with an interesting stage that could be tailor-made for Julian Alaphilippe to pull on the first yellow jersey of the race.

Giro d'Italia St 21

Senago - Milano

Sunday 30th May, 30.3kms ITT

Similar to last year, the final TT is a flat run to Milan, but it's almost twice the distance of the final TT in 2020, at 30.3kms. After his demolition job in the opening TT, can Pippo Ganna top and tail the Giro with stage wins and win the final TT for the second year running? 

Giro d'Italia St 20

Verbania - Alpe Motta

Saturday 29th May, 164kms 

What a brute they have lined up for the final test of the climbers endurance. A flat opening 80kms, where they cross in to Switzerland, then straight up for the next 26kms to the top of the Bernardino Pass.  

Giro d'Italia St 19

Abbiategrasso - Alpe Di Mera

Friday 28th May, 176kms

Back in to the high mountains again with another tough stage, but not the toughest of the race, on paper anyway, but does finish with a bang on the Alpe di Mera, a climb making its debut in the race. 

Giro d'Italia St 18

Rovereto - Stradella

Thursday 27th May, 231kms 

A mini rest day ahead of the final push. An easy stage along the Po Plains, with a few bumps near the finish to maybe give us an interesting finish. Don't expect any GC action today, they will all be thinking of the 3 days to come.. 

Giro d'Italia St 17

Canazei - Sega Di Ala 

Wed. 26th May, 193kms 

The first of three summit finishes in the next four stages, this is a game of two halves as they say, or even three thirds.. The first third is more or less downhill, a third on flat roads and then two Cat 1s to finish the stage. 

Giro d'Italia St 16

Sacile - Cortina d'Ampezzo

Monday 24th May, 212kms 

Yet another 'Queen stage' according to the roadbook, that's the third I make it so far.. but this one probably merits more than the others so far, it's a beast and one that Simon Yates has said "looks filthy".. he's not wrong!

Giro d'Italia St.15

Grado - Gorizia

Sunday 23rd May, 147kms

This is a strange stage they've dropped in to the middle of two tough stages in the Alps. Partly raced in Italy, partly in Slovenia, it's more like a stage of the Tour of Slovenia or Romandie with a circuit feel to it as they pass over the same hill three times in total.
