Chris Froome will gear up for a third Tour de France title and the Olympic Games with a 2016 seasonal debut in the February 3-7 Sun Tour in Australia.
"Victoria is a beautiful part of the world and racing in the warm climate will give me a good platform for the new season," the Kenyan-born Briton announced in a Team Sky statement.
