Eddie Dunbar is set to open his 2020 season next week as part of a strong Team Ineos selection picked for the Tour de la Provence.
The young Irish rider was 7th overall last year after finishing in the top 10 on two stages.
He also put in a last stage attack in a bid to win the race outright and was only caught with a kilometre to the finish.
The event features a number of stages on which the field should split on short sharp climbs and it can really suit Dunbar if he is in the same early season form as 12 months ago.
The race gets underway next Thursday and features four stages with Dunbar in the same team as Pavel Sivakov and Gianni Moscon.

Moscon is currently riding the Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana and was 8th on the summit finish stage 2 yesterday.
Sivakov has already ridden very well in Australia where he put in an attacking ride at the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race on his way to 2nd place.
He also rode well in the Tour Down Under two weeks ago where he was best young rider overall.
