Sir Bradley Wiggins is among the latest set of riders confirmed as participants for the Aviva Tour of Britain, which starts in Wales on Sunday.
The 2012 Tour de France champion returns to the race he won in 2013, despite his focus switching from the road to the track as the Rio Olympics approach.
The 35-year-old is bidding for a fifth Olympic gold next summer and a British-record eighth medal in all.
Wiggins, who was third last year's edition, will lead his eponymous team in their first appearance in the race, which begins in Beaumaris and finishes in central London on September 13.
Michael Thompson, Jon Dibben, Owain Doull, Chris Lawless and Andy Tennant make up the rest of the WIGGINS line-up.
Recent USA Pro Challenge stage winner Taylor Phinney - getting back to full fitness after nearly a year off through injury - will spearhead the BMC Racing team in the eight-day race.
And a strong Tinkoff-Saxo line-up includes Croatia's Robert Kiserlovski, Juraj Sagan and former Giro d'Italia stage winner Chris Anker Sorensen,
Sprint greats Mark Cavendish (Etixx - Quick-Step) and Andre Greipel (Lotto Soudal) were among riders confirmed as participants last week.
