Team Sky reveal squads for E3 Harelbeke and Ghent-Wevelgem
Luke Rowe and Ian Stannard will lead Team Sky at E3 Harelbeke and Ghent-Wevelgem this weekend, while Mikel Landa will make his debut at Coppi e Bartali

Geraint Thomas will not defend his E3 Harelbeke title on Good Friday, with Team Sky instead backing Ian Stannard and Luke Rowe for the hilly cobbled Classic.
Thomas is focussing on stage racing this season, racing at the Volta a Catalunya this week instead, with Stannard and Rowe entrusted to follow the Welshman's good work on the cobbles in 2015.
Last year's Amstel Gold Race winner and 2014 World Champion Michal Kwiatkowski starts E3 Harelbeke, but sits out of the sprinter Classic, Ghent-Wevelgem on Easter Sunday.

Andy Fenn, Michal Golas, Christian Knees, Salvatore Puccio and Elia Viviani join Stannard and Rowe in riding both races over the weekend, with Danny van Poppel replacing Kwiatkowski on Sunday.
Sky also announced that Mikel Landa will make his debut for the team at the Settimana Coppi e Bartali in Italy between March 24-27. The Basque rider has been absent with illness so far this year and is looking to gain form and fitness ahead of the Giro d'Italia.
According to the Sky website, van Poppel will also ride Coppi e Bartali, despite it clashing with Ghent-Wevelgem on Sunday.
