On your bike Lance!

It's time to get the lycra on, as cycling's most famous event the Tour de France starts on Saturday and bookie Paddy Power has offered punters another one of their famous money back specials…

Returning cycling legend Lance Armstrong is bidding for an incredible 8th Tour de France title - the American is currently the 2nd favourite to win this year's event at 11/2. But if he fails a drugs test Paddy Power will refund all bets on the rider. 

Organisers will be hoping that does not happen after all the doping scandals that have hit the tour in recent years.

Armstrong's Astanta team mate Alberto Contador is the bookies hot favourite at around Even Money. 

One rider Paddy Power hopes will not win the event is Britain's sprint specialist Mark Cavendish. He's available at a whopping 300/1 and it would cost the bookie a cool £150,000 if he did cause a major shock and win!
