Burghardt will return in Le Samyn
BMC Racing welcomed the return of German Marcus Burghardt to its active line-up, naming him for Wednesday's Le Samyn together with Philippe Gilbert. Burghardt crashed on stage 3 of the Tour Down Under in January and suffered a fractured elbow, and it was feared he would miss the Spring Classics.
Burghardt, Gilbert are joined by Tom Bohli, Floris Gerts, Joey Rosskopf, Manuel Senni, Loic Vliegen and Rick Zabel for the Belgian race.
"After a long break between races I can't wait to get back in the peloton, especially in Belgium where the crowds and atmosphere are always good. I've been training in Lake Garda in Italy and I feel ready to race again," Burghardt said.
