Giro D’Italia Betting For 2024

Tadej Pogačar is the heavy favourite to win the 2024 Giro D’Italia at 1/5. The Slovenian has been a top-two finisher in the last four editions of the Tour de France, including winning the event in 2020 and 2021. He is gunning to become the third rider since 1998 to complete a Grand Tour double.

Geraint Thomas, runner-up in the 2023 Giro, is the second favourite in the latest odds. Thomas has been formidable in the Grand Tours over the last couple of years, also earning a third-place finish in the 2022 Tour de France. 

There is a massive gap between Thomas and the rest of the field. Ben O’Connor has the third-shortest price at 16/1 before Antonio Tiberi at 18/1 and Damiano Caruso at 20s. 

Given how dominant Pogačar is expected to be, bettors should look towards the each-way offering to improve their chances of landing a winner and most cycling betting tips will focus on that angle.

There could also be value betting on individual stages once the Giro gets underway on 4th May.
