Goodbye Giro, hello Dauphiné. The race has been given a new name; I have a feeling must of us will still be calling it the Dauphiné for many years to come.

Taking to the start line will be Paul Seixas, returning to racing after a sensational first part of the season. If he produces another good performance, the hype will be off the scale as we approach the Tour de France.
