The Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana is back after an eight year hiatus and will include Tom Boonen, who returns after crashing out of last season's Abu Dhabi Tour.
The Etixx-Quick Step rider has been out for four months since fracturing his skull in a nasty fall last October but he will line up for the five-stage race last won by Ruben Plaza in 2008.
Boonen will be joined on the start line by team mate Daniel Martin as well as Pierre Rolland, who makes his debut ride for Cannondale, and Katusha's Joaquim Rodriguez.
The race opens with a 16.3km individual time trial before heading into the mountains the following day. But sprinters will have a chance of grabbing a stage win too when the race ends with a ten lap circuit in Valencia.
Below is a listing of the live TV coverage of the race and the highlights which will be broadcast too.
