BMC Racing line up at Saturday's Volta Limburg Classic aiming for its third straight win in the Dutch one-day race. Defending champion Floris Gerts and recent Tour of Oman winner Ben Hermans will lead the team's ambitions.
BMC have enjoyed a successful Classics campaign in 2017 with Greg Van Avermaet winning Omloop Het Nieuwsblad, E3 Harelbeke and Gent-Wevelgem and starts Sunday's Tour of Flanders as the favourite.
Sport director Jackson Stewart is hoping his team can inspire Van Avermaet with an aggressive showing and third straight win 24 hours earlier.

"We have always raced well at Volta Limburg Classic. It's not the Tour of Flanders but it is still a hard race to win. Last year we had five riders in the top ten, including Floris Gerts who won, so I'm expecting the riders to work hard to achieve similar results," said Stewart.
"We are taking a relatively young team, as well as experienced riders like Ben Hermans and Joey Rosskopf, so I'm confident we can do a good race."
From last year's winning team is the returning quartet of Tom Bohli, Manuel Senni, Loïc Vliegen and Hermans, plus Gerts. Added support comes from Kilian Frankiny, Joey Rosskopf and Miles Scotson.
