Alexis Vuillermoz will start his season in Argentina next season as he leads the Ag2r-La Mondiale team at the 2.1 Tour de San Luis from January 18.
"This year there will be great opportunities for climbers and I hope to ride a good race, but there will be a lot of world-class riders," Vuillermoz said of next month's race.
The 27-year-old won his last race on South American soil, the Rio Olympics test event, and is hoping that he'll be back again in August.

"I would like to participate in the Olympics and defend the colours of my country, the route should favour the climbers. But I am definitely not the only one who dreams about winning the title," he added.
A Tour de France stage winner this year, Vuillermoz was 11th overall at the 2015 edition of the race and explained the race provides him with a good platform before the European season gets underway.
"There is an experienced organisation, and people are really charming. It is a race which lets you know if you are in good shape before taking part in the early competitions in Europe," he said.
