Chris Froome will join the ranks of cycling’s greatest if he can claim a fifth Tour De France an the odds suggest he is very likely to do so in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

The world’s biggest cycling title is one of the toughest sporting achievements to accomplish, so to do it five times is something special.<\/p>\n

Jacques Anquetil, Eddy Merckx, Bernard Hinault and Miguel Indurain have all claimed the Yellow Jersey five times, and Froome will join them if he can claim victory this month.<\/p>\n

Froome is now just 13\/8 to win the Tour again, with Bookmakers not willing to take on the British star, whose entry was only confirmed this weekend as an anti-doping case was officially dropped.<\/p>\n

“Chris Froome is determined to join the cycling greats on five wins, and he looks on course,” said OddsMonkey spokesman Peter Watton.<\/p>\n

“His nearest rival looks to be his former team-mate Richie Porte – who crashed out last year – but even he is around 5\/1, which just shows how short Froome is.<\/p>\n

“But if you do fancy Froome, then we would suggest getting your money on early – once the race has begun, and the tone is set, then his odds are likely to be cut further and it won’t be long before he is odds-on.”<\/p>\n

Selected odds on Tour De France 2018<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Chris Froome 13\/8
