Paris-Nice begins on Sunday and the provisional start list has some pretty big names on it from GC contenders to climbers to sprinters. And the two rainbow jersey wearers as well …

World champion Michal Kwiatkowski and Etixx teammate Tony Martin will be lining up, as will a strong Sky line-up, including Richie Porte, Bradley Wiggins and Geraint Thomas (but who will be the leader?) Add to that Giant-Alpecin riders John Degenkolb, Tom Dumoulin and Warren Barguil, BMC’s Tejay van Garderen, Tinkoff’s winker Rafal Majka, Katusha’s Alexander Kristoff and Lotto-Soudal’s Andre Greipel and we have one spicy race, as Panache would say! And that’s not even a comprehensive list!

Still need convincing? Have a look at this.
