Defending champion Alberto Contador is the odd-on favourite at 4/6 with Coral bookmakers to win back-to-back Tours after the 2010 was unveiled.

Britain's Bradley Wiggins is 16/1 and Mark Cavendish is 4/6 to win the Green Jersey.

"Next year will definitely be a climbers tour and with Contador proving the best of them this year, he will again be the man to beat, but with some tricky early stages, especially on the cobbles, it won't be the easiest of opening weeks," Coral spokesman Gary Burton told Bettingpro this afternoon.

Coral quote Wiggins at 4/1 to be on the podium and Cavendish is 33/1 to better his record performance of the six stage wins he achieved in 2009
