The organisers of the Jayco Herald Sun Tour have ensured the 2016 edition of the race will be one the most followed in its history with two-time Tour de France winner Chris Froome to make his season debut at the race with Team Sky. 'Home team' Orica-GreenEdge will line up with fast man Caleb Ewan who will be the rider to beat in the sprints having started his 2016 season in winning style.
