The Tour de France continues on and although it looks like Chris Froome is set to race away to victory, this 16th Stage of the 2013 Tour could be a good place to find some value. Being a short stage at 168km, there will be plenty of teams that see this as their opportunity to grab a stage win, while Froome is likely to stick with the peleton and save himself for the tougher climbs ahead.
Peter Sagan is an early favorite at $6 but for value let’s look at Australian Simon Gerrans to win his second stage of the year at around $21 or even Movistar’s Alejandro Valverde at $29.
