BMC Racing Team will bring two trainees to the Tour of Utah for the seven-day stage race beginning on August 1: Utah native Taylor Eisenhart and Swiss rider Fabian Lienhard move up to the WorldTour squad from BMC's development team.
"We are heading to Utah with a young and ambitious team. Many of our riders have raced here before and with a solid week's recon, we will be lining up with a strong and well-prepared team. We are not heading to the race with a clear leader as we have multiple options available to us so we will see how the race evolves day by day," directeur sportif Jackson Stewart said.
"It is also great to have BMC Racing Team stagiaires, Eisenhart and Lienhard here with us. They've progressed well as part of the BMC Development Team program and this is a perfect race for them to enter the professional world of cycling and demonstrate their abilities. It is particularly exciting to see Eisenhart starting here in his home state and on his home roads."
