I’m seeing his TDF odds shorter than people like carapaz or oconnor. I definitely think he could transition to that type of ride but I don’t see any indication of it this season.

    stage win for sure, but I don’t see him having the consistency for a 3 week grand tour, just going off his performances in classics, or even CX where he often would only have one good race out of 3 in a week

    odds are also a function of how much the house thinks people are willing to bet on someone. Pidcock is a big name right now so it’s an easy buck for them.

      I guess? There have been similarly obviously wrong big name discounts for e.g. Froome in recent history. I’m still a bit surprised.

    Easy money for the brokers would be bigger odds, he can’t win a GT yet, not until he’s gone through the sky GT transformation and can’t race anything other than stage races.
