Hermans was born in Hasselt, Flanders, and he turned professional in 2009 with Topsport Vlaanderen–Mercator.[7]
Hermans left RadioShack–Leopard at the end of the 2013 season, and joined the BMC Racing Team for the 2014 season.[2] In April 2015, he won the Belgian classic Brabantse Pijl with a late attack and resisted to the return of the peloton by a few seconds to cross the line solo.[8] A couple of weeks later, he went on to win the third stage of the Tour de Yorkshire in solo fashion, attacking the leading group with twelve kilometers remaining.[9] He also finished sixth overall in the race. In 2017 he won the Tour of Oman. In August 2020, he was named in the startlist for the 2020 Tour de France.[10]
