Olympic omnium champion Elia Viviani will get back to work on the road heading up Team Sky's squad for the Tour of Britain this weekend. The Italian is hoping to secure the role of leader for his country's team at the UCI Road World Championships in Doha in October.
Viviani will be joined by Wout Poels, who will seek the overall victory after finishing second last year to Edvald Boasson Hagen. The team last won its home tour in 2013 with Bradley Wiggins.
Ian Stannard will start his fourth straight edition of the race, together with Ben Swift, Nicolas Roche and Danny van Poppel on the six-rider squad.
