    Talking of betting – Horner is 33/1 for the Giro at present, I thought it was worth an e/w…

    Yep, I doubt he will stay like that for long, was thinking about it myself. I had a fiver each way on Nibs for P-N last night at 10/1, and a fiver E/W on Kwia for the TdF at 100/1. Unlikely to win it, but with his form he could get a place if he can keep it up.
