Tour de France 2022 Favorites and Their Betting Odds
Tadej Pogacar (-170)
This Slovenian rider is the youngest ever to win the Tour de France. He ranked first overall in both 2020 and 2021. This rider, in addition to being the reigning Tour champion, started the 2022 season with victories in the Tour of UAE and Strade Bianche.
He also won two stages in the Tirreno–Adriatico road race. In this case, his biggest competition are Vingegaard and Roglic, who have also been on the Tour podium and hope to win this year’s edition.
Jonas Vingegaard (+450)
Aged 25, he has had excellent results this season. He finished first in the Drôme Classic and second overall in the Critérium du Dauphiné and Tirreno–Adriatico. For this reason, he is among the favorites for the Tour de France 2022.
In addition, he won the young rider category of the Tour of the Basque Country last year and was second on the podium of the Tour de France.
Primoz Roglic (+500)
So far, a clear favorite for the Tour de France in 2022. Roglic is 32 years old and a compatriot of Pogacar. He is arguably the best performer this year, winning both Paris-Nice and the Critérium du Dauphiné.
Also, last year he won the Vuelta a España and three jerseys in the Tour of the Basque Country: mountains, points and general classification. His 2020 Tour result was second place, and he is expected to compete for the maillot jaune of the Tour de France.
Geraint Thomas (+2200)
Thomas won the TdF in 2018 along with the Critérium du Dauphiné. In 2019, he came second in the Tour and, in addition, he had the first position in the general classification in the Tour de Romandie last year and also this year in the Tour de Suisse.
Therefore, this Welsh cyclist is expected to have the best results this year. However, one cannot overlook the long odds that Pogacar, Vingegaard and Roglic have and how strong the competition will be against these three.
Alexandr Vlasov (+2200)
Of course, Vlasov is one of the favorites for the 2022 Tour de France. He’s a 26-year-old Russian rider who is part of the Bora-Hansgrohe team. He specializes in being a climber, and this year he has won both the Tour de Romandie and the Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana. Accordingly, he is expected to reach the highest positions in the Tour de France and win some stages.
Daniel Martinez (+3500)
The only Latin cyclist on this list of picks. We hope that Colombian Martínez will make history and join the group of Latin American winners of the Tour de France. This rider, the sixth and last on our list of Tour de France 2022 favorites, has had excellent results this season. He recently won the Tour of the Basque Country and was third on the podium in both Paris-Nice and the Tour of the Algarve.
Moreover, this year he is the champion of the Colombian Cycling Time Trial Championship, which he has won three times already.
