2024 Tour de France Final Attack to the Title

Heading into the Tour de France’s final stage, most believe Pogacar is the easy winner.

Pogacar has over a 3 minute lead versus rival Jona Vingegaard.

Vingegaard, the 2023 Tour de France winner, must make up the more than 3 seconds and he’s got only a small amount of time to do so.

• Jonas Vingegaard
• Remco Evenepoel
• Joao Almeida
• Mikel Landa
• Carlos Rodriguez
• Adam Yates
• Giulio Ciccione
• Derek Gee

If we count Friday’s stage 19, Pogacar is just 3 stages away from scoring another Tour de France victory.

Pogacar, who is so young he won the white jersey that goes to the Tour de France’s best young cyclist in 2023, has provided an excellent bounce back performance after struggling in last year’s Tour.

Tadej entered last year’s Tour de France after missing valuable training time due to a wrist injury.

Pogacar fought hard last year, but Jonas Vingegaard was too difficult to pass on the standings.

This year, Pogacar’s and Vingegaard’s roles have switched.

While Tadej was also a part of the terrible crash that happened at the Itzulia Basque Country on April 4 this year, Jonas Vingegaard suffered more alarming injuries than Pogacar.

Tadej missed almost zero training while up until late last month, the rumor was that Vingegaard might skip the 2024 Tour de France.

So unless Pogacar falls apart, the yellow jersey should be his after Sunday’s final stage, which explains why Tadej is a massive -12000 favorite heading into the weekend.

Vingegaard must Make up 3 Minutes and 11 Seconds on Pogacar

Even if you don’t believe Jonas Vingegaard can make up the 3 minutes and 11 seconds difference in the final Tour de France stages, the odds on Jonas make him a possible play.

Vingegaard is +1100, which are massive odds.

For sure, a 3 minutes and 11 second differential between you and Pogacar is massive.

But if any cyclist can overcome the difference, it’s Jonas Vingegaard.

The Visma-Lease a Bike cyclist won one stage at the 2023 Tour de France while Pogacar won two stages yet Vingegaard managed to beat Pogacar by over 7 seconds.

Things are much different in 2024 when Pogacar escaped severe injury while Vingegaard broke several ribs and a collarbone in the Itzulia Basque Country crash.

Still, the +1100 odds attract and we wouldn’t have to bet much to score a decent profit.   

Remco Evenepoel Proving He’s the World’s Top Young Cyclist

24 year old Remco Evenepoel is on his way to scoring the white jersey as this year’s top young cyclist at the Tour de France.

Keep the name in the back your mind as we prepare for next year’s cycling season.

Stage 20 and Stage 21 Prediction – Vingegaard Falls Short of Catching Pogacar

At this stage in the Tour de France, for Pogacar winning the stage isn’t as important as finishing ahead of Jonas Vingegaard.

Pogacar is protecting the 3 minutes and 6 seconds lead.

The prediction is that Pogacar does exactly that to score another Tour de France yellow jersey.

Vingegaard finishes second and Evenepoel finishes third.

Of course, just because we believe Pogacar wins, it doesn’t mean we’re not going to put a few bucks on Vingegaard to pull off the impossible.

+1100 odds are too good to ignore and the crash at the Itzulia Basque Country proves that anything can happen in cycling.

We’re backing Vingegaard to catch Pogacar at +1100 odds with the expectation that we’re going to lose.

Sometimes playing the lottery makes sense.
