Team Sky’s Richie Porte and Geraint Thomas roll out for Paris-Nice on Sunday (March 8) among the favourites to pull on the yellow jersey.

The race is book-ended by time trials, and will see world champion Sir Bradley Wiggins (also Team Sky) don the rainbow bands, and the balanced parcours should promote an open race.

British Eurosport will be broadcasting each stage, with highlights and live action throughout next week.
