Hermans returns for Tour of Britain but Porte continues recovery

BMC Racing are keeping their options open at the Tour of Britain, with Silvan Dillier, Stefan Kung and Ben Hermans all potential cards for the overall classification. Brent Bookwalter, Floris Gerts and recently renewed Joey Rosskopf complete the six-man line-up. There is no spot for Richie Porte, who continues his rehabilitation from injury after crashing out of the Tour de France in July.
