Ownership


The team was owned by Swiss businessman Andy Rihs until his death.[1] After his death the team passed to Jim Ochowicz and Gavin Chilcott.



History


The team signed a number of major international riders for the 2010 season, including 2009 World Champion, two-time Tour de France runner-up and 2011 winner Cadel Evans, 2009 U.S. Road Race Champion George Hincapie, 2008 World Champion Alessandro Ballan and Spring Classics specialists Karsten Kroon and Marcus Burghardt.


In 2010 the team participated in their first Grand Tours, having been invited to compete in the 2010 Tour de France and the 2010 Giro d'Italia. In 2011, the team attained UCI ProTeam status, the most prestigious classification available, and BMC rider Cadel Evans won the 2011 Tour de France. For 2012 the team signed Thor Hushovd and Philippe Gilbert, the 2010 and 2012 world-champions respectively.


In 2012, Evans was unable to defend his title at the Tour de France, finishing in seventh overall, two places behind teammate Tejay van Garderen.


Cadel Evans placed third overall at the 2013 Giro d'Italia.


At the 2013 Tour de France, Cadel Evans finished 39th, Tejay van Garderen 45th, with Steve Morabito the highest placed overall at 35th. Shortly after the end of the Tour, it was announced that John Lelangue, who had been directeur sportif since the team was founded in 2007, was leaving the team "for personal reasons".[2] In September 2013 Jim Ochowicz announced the appointment of Valerio Piva as Lelangue's replacement.[3]


For the 2015 season, BMC signed Alessandro De Marchi, Damiano Caruso and Jempy Drucker for the 2015 season[4] The team also announced they had signed Rohan Dennis - his transfer however was effective immediately.[5] Avermaet finished 8th in the World Tour individual classification, scoring wins at the Tour of Flanders, Paris–Roubaix and Eneco Tour.. Meanwhile, the team won the Team Time Trial World Championship.


For the 2016 season, the team signed Richie Porte.[6][7] He scored podiums at the Tour Down Under and Paris–Nice to finish 7th in the World Tour individual classification, whereas Van Avermaet finished 6th overall after winning the Tirreno–Adriatico and GP de Montréal.


In the 2017 season, Van Avermaet won the Omloop Het Nieuwsblad, E3 Harelbeke, Gent–Wevelgem and the Paris–Roubaix, therefore he claimed the first place at the World Tour individual classification. Porte finished 12th overall, having won the Tour Down Under and Tour de Romandie. BMC ranked third in the World Tour points classifiation.


In the 2018 season, Porte won the Tour de Suisse.


In July 2018 the team announced the team would merge with CCC–Sprandi–Polkowice for the 2019 season.[8] Van Avermaet will continue as leader, whereas Porte is expected to leave the team.



Doping


In April 2010, Thomas Frei tested positive for erythropoietin (EPO), Frei was immediately withdrawn from racing by the team.[9] Frei was later sacked by the team.[10]


In August 2017, the UCI confirmed that Samuel Sanchez had returned a positive out of competition drug test for GHRP-2 (Pralmorelin).[11] He was immediately suspended by the team pending analysis of his B-sample.[12]
