Michal Kwiatkowski will lead Team Sky's charge at Saturday's Strade Bianche and Geraint Thomas is the team's contender for Paris-Nice, starting on Sunday.
Thomas is the clear leader in Paris-Nice in France on Saturday, with the Welsh Volta ao Algarve winner in a strong position to finish on the podium in the eight-stage French race. He will be supported by a mixture of climbers and Classics riders, including Luke Rowe, Ian Stannard, Sergio Henao and Nicolas Roche. Ben Swift will provide an option for sprint wins.
