Climbers Sebastián Henao, Mikel Nieve and Geoghegan Hart will be Sky's men in the mountains on the four climb-heavy days.

There isn't, however, a stand out leader for Sky. Irishman Philip Deignan, Italian Salvatore Puccio and Dutch sprinter Danny van Poppel are the remaining three riders.

Sky's best result at the race was Geraint Thomas' second-place in 2015.

The race has a strong line-up this year: GC riders include Giro d'Italia winner Tom Dumoulin (Team Sunweb), reigning champion Miguel Ángel López (Astana) and Steven Kruijswijk (LottoNL-Jumbo).
