A host of talent surrounds defending and three-time Amstel Gold Race champion Philippe Gilbert on the BMC Racing Team's roster for Sunday's WorldTour race.
Ben Hermans soloed to win De Brabantse Pijl on Wednesday as Gilbert finished third. Greg Van Avermaet has back-to-back third-place finishes at Paris-Roubaix and Ronde van Vlaanderen the past two weekends among his seven podium finishes this season. And the rider who set up Gilbert's winning attack last year, past Olympic road race champion Samuel Sánchez, joins Gilbert, Hermans and Van Avermaet as past top 10 finishers at the race in The Netherlands.
Riders:
Marcus Burghardt (GER), Damiano Caruso (ITA), Silvan Dillier (SUI), Philippe Gilbert (BEL), Ben Hermans (BEL), Samuel Sánchez (ESP), Dylan Teuns (BEL), Greg Van Avermaet (BEL).
