Giant-Alpecin will also field Laurens ten Dam and Aike Visbeek. The race will start with a 6.1km prologue and will include a climb up Mont Ventoux on the fifth stage.
"I want to start with a strong result from the prologue and have a good starting position,” Dumoulin said. “From that we will take it day by day for the general classification. In the first stages, the wind could play a role, with other challenges as well, so I hope to tackle the first days in the best way possible.
"From past experiences, I've learned that March is always a challenging month for me to reach my top level, but we go for it."
