Jonas Vingegaard (Visma | Lease a Bike) headlines the start list as the Dane kicks off his 2026 season. Vingegaard finished 3rd in the race to the sun in 2023, before abandoning in 2025.

Juan Ayuso (Lidl-Trek) made a winning start to the 2026 season, winning a stage and the GC at the Volta ao Algarve on debut. The 23-year-old Spanish rider will make his debut at Paris-Nice, having opted to race Tirreno-Adriatico in recent years, a race which he won in 2025.

Oscar Onley and Kévin Vauquelin (Ineos Grenadiers) both made good starts to life with their new team, finishing 4th and 5th at the Volta ao Algarve. Onley is making his debut at Paris-Nice, whilst Vauquelin rode previously in 2023, where he finished 18th.
