Team Giant-Alpecin heads to Spain next Monday for the Volta Ciclista a Catalunya. Over the seven road stages, there are opportunities for the sprinters, climbers and attacking opportunists and Team Giant-Alpecin will challenge on all fronts.

The week long WorldTour race will see Warren Barguil (FRA) return to racing for the first time since the accident and the team is very pleased to have him back in the line-up.

Coach Morten Bennekou  said: "We saw at Paris-Nice that Tom [Dumoulin] is heading into the right direction and he is showing a good level at the moment. If there is an opportunity in the general classification we will go for it, but without any immediate pressure. 

"Warren had a good recovery period and he will carefully continue to build up his fitness level. For the sprint stages, we will try and set up Nikias [Arndt] in a good position to challenge for a stage result."
