Greg Van Avermaet farà il suo ritorno alle corse all'Amen Tour of California dopo l accaduta al Giro delle Fiandre, dalla quale è uscito con una clavicola rotta.
Il direttore sportivo della BMC Jackson Stewart spiega: «Abbiamo allestito davvero una grande squadra per il California: andremo per puntare alla Classifica Generale e alle vittorie di tappa. Non c'è un corridore del team che non sia in grado di ottenere un buon risultato, in più per Brent Bookwalter e Taylor Phinney questa è una delle poche occasioni per mettersi in mostra sulle strade di casa. Ed è bello vedere Greg tornare in mezzo a noi».
Rider roster: Brent
Bookwalter (USA), Rohan Dennis (AUS), Jempy Drucker (LUX), Taylor
Phinney (USA), Samuel Sánchez (ESP), Michael Schär (SUI), Greg Van
Avermaet (BEL), Danilo Wyss (SUI). Sports Directors: Jackson Stewart (USA), Valerio Piva (ITA).
Greg
Van Avermaet will make his return to racing at the Amgen Tour of
California following the crash at Ronde van Vlaanderen which left him
with a broken collarbone.
BMC Racing Team Sports Director Jackson Stewart said he is expecting a strong showing from the eight-rider squad.
"We're
taking a really strong team to the Amgen Tour of California so we are
going in with both General Classification and stage win ambitions.
There's not one rider on the team who isn't capable of getting a good
result and for Brent Bookwalter and Taylor Phinney, it's one of the few
occasions they can race on home soil too, which is extra motivation. Of
course it's great to see Greg back racing too."
Van Avermaet is looking forward to getting back into the peloton.
"It's
been a long road to recovery since breaking my collarbone at the
beginning of April so the Amgen Tour of California is a perfect race to
use as a transition and build up my racing form again. At this stage
it's not so much about getting a result but more getting the race days
in the legs. I'm really looking forward to racing with my teammates
again!"
