A bit of a quiet start to the games. Adam Peaty is in his heat that he will no doubt win comfortably and may even break the world record just for fun. A bit of rowing and a bit of boxing too but the main one for me is the Men's Road Race in Cycling. It starts at 3am and should finish at about 8:30am. Logic suggests that one of the Slovenians will win (Pogacar or Roglic) depending on how it pans out. There's no fun betting on that though so i'll try and find a bit of value. We need someone who can get up hills and hopefully has a decent finish. So i'm going to go for:
£2.50 ew @ 40/1 Michal Kwiatkowski
£1.50 ew @ 50/1 Vincenzo Nibali
£1.00 ew @ 150/1 Geraint Thomas
