After the result of yesterday's time trial in Utrecht that served as a prologue to the Tour, the betting houses wasted no time in reflecting what had happened. While on Friday, British Chris Froome positioned himself as the favorite to win in Paris, yesterday Colombian Nairo Quintana became the number one favorite for the Tour de France, with odds close to three euros.

Nibali, on the other hand, became the third contender, while Contador dropped a position to the Italian, now fourth and adding almost one euro to his odds.

After the Big Four, Frenchman Thibaut Pinot is the fifth contender. If before the start his odds were around 26 euros, they significantly dropped after his good performance.
