For three weeks every July, cycling fans sit glued to their screens, enjoying the exquisite European backdrops and world-class riding. The abundance of Tour de France betting markets also makes for an interesting time for bettors seeking to have some fun and test their cycling IQ. Find out what wagers you can place on the world’s premier bike race.
An outright win bet means you pick one cyclist to win the entire Tour. These are usually the longest odds you’ll find on a rider, because the chances of prevailing in a field of 180-plus competitors is the most difficult achievement.
Podium
You make a podium wager by selecting one rider to complete the Tour de France inside the top three. Since there are three places up for grabs, the odds are shorter than for an outright win. Alternatively, you can wager that an overwhelming favorite won’t finish inside the top three.
Top 10
The margin for error is greater when you place a top-10 wager. The rider you select can finish in any position from 1 to 10 for the bet to come off. Since there are multiple positions up for grabs, the odds on a top 10 bet are significantly shorter than for an outright win or a podium.
Straight Forecast
Pulling off a straight forecast bet is a challenge because you need to select the winner and runner-up of the Tour accurately. For example, let’s say you select Tadej Pogačar to win and Jonas Vingegaard to finish second, and they finish in that order, you win. However, if Jonas wins and Pogačar finishes second, the bet is off.
Stage Win/Multiple Stage Wins
The Tour de France has 21 stages, meaning we will see multiple winners along the way. On the faster, flat stages, your best bet is to select a sprinter, while climbers are best suited to the mountains. Odds for a stage win are shorter than for winning the overall Tour, but you can still find excellent value bets. If you really believe in a rider, you can also bet on them to win anywhere from two to more than five stages throughout.
King of the Mountains
The King of the Mountains classification is contested across most of the stages on the tour, and the rider who accumulates the most points wins. While it’s hard to predict an outright winner in this competition, it’s easier than picking the overall tour winner, because only a few dedicated climbers battle for the polka dot.
Points Classification
Another side contest in the Tour de France is the points classification or the green jersey contest. Odds on riders to win the green jersey are shorter than an outright win because only the sprinters tackle this contest.
Young Rider Classification
Riders under 26 years old are eligible for the coveted white jersey, which represents the young rider classification. You find shorter odds on riders to wear the white shirt than to win, because the event is limited to the youthful cyclists in the field.
Team Classification
Cycling is very much a team sport, even though one rider gets to wear the yellow jersey. The times of the top three finishers on each stage are added to determine the overall duration the team has spent on the road this tour. Naturally, the team with the least time at the end of stage 21 is the winner.
Team to Win a Stage/Multiple Stages
If picking one team to win the overall Tour is too daunting, you can bet on them to win a stage or multiple stages. The times of the first three finishers from a team are tallied up after each stage, and the team with the least time wins.
Number of Riders to Wear Yellow Jersey
The yellow jersey tends to swap hands during the Tour de France, but how many riders will wear it in a given year? You can wager that anywhere from one to seven or more riders will wear the leader’s jersey. In 202,4 only three riders wore the jersey after Tadej Pogačar claimed it on the fourth stage and never looked back.

Drama was the order of the day as multiple contenders for the stage win crashed inside the last 800 yards. Their misfortune paved the way for the green jersey holder, Jonathan Milan, to power home for the victory and extend his lead in the points classification. The Italian now holds a 72-point cushion over Tadej …
If victories were determined by effort, Mathieu van der Poel would be wearing the yellow jersey heading into day 10. The Dutchman broke away from the peloton for most of the race, but was caught inside the final kilometre of the day. There were no other changes to the general classification, King of the Mountains, or …
Hautacam may be the venue where Tadej Pogačar won the grandest event in cycling for a fourth time. Of course, that suggestion is premature because anything can happen, but Pogi snatched the yellow jersey to open a substantial lead on his opponents. The Slovenian captures most of the headlines in our 2025 Tour de France …
The village of Klanec in Slovenia is home to 343 residents, one of whom is now a four-time Champion of the world’s grandest cycle tour. On Sunday, Tadej Pogačar arrived at the Champs-Élysées fourth, which was good enough to hold on for a 4:24 win over Jonas Vingegaard. The yellow jersey wasn’t the Slovenian’s only …
