Hermans, BMC looking to repeat success at Tour de Yorkshire
Ben Hermans is returning to the Tour de Yorkshire with BMC Racing this year hoping to repeat the success he found at the British race last year when he won the final stage.
"Having won a stage in 2015 it will be nice to have the opportunity to return to Tour de Yorkshire, especially with the strong team that we have," Hermans said. "My focus has been on the one-day Classics recently so it's a good chance to get back into stage racing.”

The second-year race opens April 29 with a 184km stage from Beverley to Settle. Stage 2 on April 30 takes riders 135.5km from Otley to Doncaster. The race ends May 1 with a 198km stage from Middlesbrough to Scarborough.
Hermans will be joined in the three-day race by Rohan Dennis, who returns to racing after illness and a training camp at altitude on Mt Etna, Floris Gerts, Joey Rosskopf, Michael Schär, Manuel Senni and Rick Zabel. Tour de Yorkshire will also be the first race back in competition for Michael Schär who has been recovering from injury.
"We have a diverse team of riders who can definitely go for both the general classification and stage wins," said team director Jackson Stewart.
