The Tours
The Grand Tours — Tour de France, Giro & Vuelta
Three races of 21 stages each. The Tour de France in July is the standout — the brief calls it directly. It takes the full professional cycling market and stretches it across three weeks of racing, with hundreds of betting opportunities per stage. The Giro d'Italia in May runs across the Italian peninsula with the pink jersey on the line; the Vuelta a España in August and September closes the Grand Tour calendar with the red jersey. Each Grand Tour carries flat stages for the sprinters, mountain stages for the climbers, summit finishes for the GC contenders, and individual time trials where the seconds get shaken out. Lucky Rebel runs the General Classification outright, every stage-winner market, head-to-head matchups, time-based spreads on summit finishes, the polka-dot (mountains) and green (points) jersey outrights, plus best young rider, team classification and stage-by-stage props through every Grand Tour.
The Monuments — Cycling’s One-Day Classics
Five races that sit alongside the Grand Tours as the most prestigious one-day events in the sport. Milan-San Remo in March is the sprinter Monument — 290km, the longest one-day race on the World Tour calendar, often decided in a bunch sprint after a single decisive climb. The Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix in April are the cobbled classics — Flanders for the punchy climbers, Paris-Roubaix (the Hell of the North) for the heavy power riders who can handle the cobblestone sectors. Liège-Bastogne-Liège in late April is the climber Monument in the Ardennes hills. Il Lombardia in October closes the calendar in the Italian lakes. Lucky Rebel runs full markets on every Monument including the deeper-than-typical-one-day-race prop book that the historical-prestige factor pulls in.
The UCI World Tour & Stage Races
The week-to-week professional calendar. Paris-Nice and Tirreno-Adriatico in March are the early-season stage races that set the spring form picture. The Tour Down Under opens the World Tour calendar in Australia every January. The Tour of Romandie in late April, the Critérium du Dauphiné in early June, and the Tour de Suisse in mid-June are the immediate Tour de France build-up races — riders winning the Dauphiné GC routinely shorten their Tour outright price by 30-50% inside a week. The Tour of California, the Tour of Britain and the Tour de Pologne fill out the year. Lucky Rebel runs full markets on every World Tour stage race with GC outrights, stage winners, point classifications and the full head-to-head matchup book.
World Championships, Track Cycling & The Olympics
The UCI Road World Championships run in September each year — a one-day road race for the rainbow jersey plus an individual time trial across both men's and women's elite categories. The UCI Track Cycling World Championships in October cover the velodrome disciplines — sprint, keirin, individual pursuit, team pursuit, points race, madison. Mountain bike and cyclocross have their own World Championships windows. The Olympic Games every four years bring the road race, the time trial, the velodrome programme, the mountain bike cross-country event and BMX racing — five cycling sports across the two-week window. Lucky Rebel runs full markets across every Worlds event and the full Olympic cycling programme when the cycle hits.
