Mikel Landa will make his Team Sky debut at Settimana Coppi e Bartali as part of a strong trio of March squads.

The racing continues to come thick and fast, with the team also returning to the Belgian cobbles for a pair of WorldTour Classics in the form of E3 Harelbeke and Gent-Wevelgem.

They've enjoyed success in the last two editions of Settimana Coppi e Bartali, with Pete Kennaugh enjoying a breakout overall victory in 2014, with Ben Swift just three seconds off matching that same feat last season.

Landa lines up in Team Sky colours for the first time at the Italian stage race, and will use the four-day event to ease himself back into competition after a viral infection delayed the start to his season.

Philip Deignan also makes a welcome return from injury, and is joined by a strong climbing contingent in Sebastian Henao, David Lopez and Xabier Zandio. There is a young core to the squad, with neo-pros Gianni Moscon and Alex Peters both in action, alongside fellow new signing Danny van Poppel.

With defending race winner Geraint Thomas competing in Catalunya, Sky head to E3 Harelbeke looking to continue a string a recent good results in what is commonly described as a 'mini Tour of Flanders'.

Michal Kwiatkowski is a notable addition to the strong Classics core group, with Luke Rowe also hoping to continue his momentum in Belgium. Andy Fenn, Michal Golas, Christian Knees, Salvatore Puccio, Ian Stannard and Elia Viviani provide plenty of horsepower, as well as a mix of youth and experience on these famous roads.

The squad remains largely unchanged two days later for Gent-Wevelgem. With the parcours lending itself more towards the sprinters, Danny van Poppel will head over from Coppi e Bartali with the permission of the race organisers, slotting himself into the eight-man unit in place of Kwiatkowski.
