One of cycling’s three Grand Tours, the Vuelta a España inevitably attracts plenty of sports betting interest
The 80th edition of the Vuelta won’t feature four-time winner Primož Roglič, but this is still a stacked field with 23 teams and over 180 riders.
Jonas Vingegaard opens as the cycling betting favourite to top the general classification at 3/10 after finishing runner-up at the Tour de France. The Dane won the Tour in 2022 and 2023 and has claimed two stage wins on his previous Vuelta adventures.
While Vingegaard is the clear favourite according to the bookies, there are plenty of other legitimate contenders with so many big names sitting this one out. Tadej Pogačar is skipping the race after winning another Tour de France. Remco Evenepoel has opted to focus on the upcoming World Championships.
Vuelta a España General Classification Winner Odds:
Bet on the Tour of Spain and other cycling events at William Hill – here is the current state of the Vuelta a Espana market:
- Jonas Vingegaard – 3/10
- João Almeida – 5/1
- Juan Ayuso – 11/2
- Giulio Ciccone – 18/1
- Antonio Tiberi – 25/1
- Derek Gee – 28/1
- Ben O’Connor – 40/1
- Egan Bernal – 40/1
In Pogačar’s absence, there’s a massive opportunity for João Almeida. A bright start to the season was dampened by suffering broken ribs during the Tour, but he’s had five top-five finishes at Grand Tour events.
A master of the climbs and having topped the mountain charts at the 2023 Tour de France, look out for Giulio Ciccone. The Italian is a good bet to be King of the Mountains at 10/3.
Gunning for his first top 10 finish at a Grand Tour, Tom Pidcock has the shortest odds of any British cyclist. He placed 16th at the Giro earlier this year and sits at 4/6 to end in the top 10 of the general classification. He should be in the mix for a stage win at some point.
