Tom Dumoulin will go into the Paris-Nice prologue as the favourite to take the first yellow jersey, with his closest rival Rohan Dennis having to withdraw before the event.

The Giant-Alpecin rider will have 13 riders starting after him on the 6.1km course in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine, of which Geraint Thomas and Luis Leon Sanchez are among the most likely to challenge his time.
