Contesting Sagan and Cavendish in the sprints will be the likes of Gent-Wevelgem champ John Degenkolb and Belkin's Moreno Hofland Home fans will look for Taylor Phinney to perform in Folsom on Stage 2, while lesser-known riders like Tao Geoghegan Hart will hope this race offers a chance to show what they can do.
