With eight races in the next two weeks Team Sky have announced the team line-ups for the Mallorca Challenge, the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race, Dubai Tour and the Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana.

After a strong start to the year at Tour Down Under they have teams in action across three continents over the next fortnight as the 2016 season bursts into life.

Five of our seven new signings will make their Team Sky race debuts during this period, with Chris Froome also starting his season at a new event for the team.

A unique race in the calendar, Mallorca Challenge (January 28-31) groups together four one-day races, allowing teams to switch  between riders each day and making it a popular starting point for the European road season.

The team remain on Australian soil for another trip to the spectacular Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race (January 31), before three days later tackling the Herald Sun Tour (February 3-7) for the first time.

In different time zones two more stage races run in tandem, with Dubai Tour (February 3-6) and the returning Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana (February 3-7) appealing to sprinters and climbers respectively.
