Remco Evenepoel claimed victory in 2022 after his closest rival, three-time consecutive champion between 2019 and 2021 Primož Roglič, crashed out on Stage 16.

The Belgian star returns to defend his crown in 2023, but he is not the favourite to do so - with a fiery pair of riders anticipated to lead the way.

Roglič is an obvious contender to return to winning ways in his specialist event, while Tour de France victor Jonas Vingegaard is back in the saddle and hoping to have recovered enough to make another surge for victory here.

The standout British rider of the five-man contingent is Geraint Thomas, while Hugh Carthy, Oscar Onley, Sean Flynn and Max Poole will hope to make an impact in Spain.
