The cobble machine gets better, if that was possible! Interesting you went from 82-83, I might have been tempted to up the stamina to 78 instead: but that's just me! Curious to know what wildcards, if any, you will go for.
What got boosted simply came down to what money I had. I wanted to get to 83 since I think that is the number he needs to have a shot a winning in PT. I didn't really care about Stamina because Grozny is the only race in the PCT where it would really be valuable, and that profile is exceptionally perfect for Summerhill anyway.
As for Wildcards, I did make a bid for all the cobbles.

We put in several bids for wildcards this season, and we have heard back from the administrators and are excited to announce which PT races our team will participate.
The biggest news is the confirmation we will be riding in Ronde van Vlaanderen, of which Danny Summerhill will likely be considered one of the race favorites. After Paris-Roubaix last season, riding in this monument will be a good accomplishment for our team.
The list of cobbled races for us won't end there as we see returns to Omloop Het Nieuwsblad and Kuurne-Bruxelles-Kuurne which were previously part of Omloop Het Volk. In Omloop Het Volk last season, the first stage was the route for Omloop Het Nieuwsblad which Danny won, he will be looking to repeat his success over that course. Lastly we also add East Midlands Cicle Classic and hope for Summerhill to have another good showing with a chance to win.
Our new riders weren't neglected either with our top signings, Beltran and Chaves, getting a chance to show what they could do in the PT with an invitation to Classique du Grand-Duché a hilly classic in Luxembourg.
We are excited for these chances, and hope to prove these opportunities are not wasted on us.

I have full faith in Summerhill, just hoping other teams will be willing to take up the pacemaking as our cobblers are still in development.

The team is now able to announce the full team schedule and we are excited that we got all of the PCT races we asked for including all of the races Danny won last season.
Many of the races are the same as last season though there are also a handful of new races and routes in use this year. We are excited for these challenges and ready to get the season started again at the Down Under Classic, though last years 4th place finisher Danny Summerhill will not be making his debut there and will hold off until the Berner Rundfahrt race to open his season. Our top two signings Eduard Alexander Beltran and Johan Esteban Chaves will both make their debut at the Down Under Classic.

Our first race of the season, we come with no real ambition to a sprint race, but we did take 4th last season in this same event on a Summerhill breakaway. Danny isn't here this year, but several of our new riders have come to stretch their legs early. With some luck we can find ourselves in the breakaway and some attacking moves late rather than rely on Vaquera to sprint with some of the best riders in the PCT.

It would be a very uneventful day for our team as we get our season started. We are a little disappointed not to make a bit more noise in the breakaway or a late attack attempt but it goes to show how much the sprinters teams wanted to ensure they took the win this season and not let a late break chance take the glory again. Our riders all finished the race, though Hersony Canelon did have some problems early on, which completely shot what little sprinting effort we might have given. Ready to move onto Táchira and see if we can maybe get some points there.

The first stage race of the season, and really the first chance for points. Summerhill is expected to carry the team but picking up at least some points in stage races like this will be key to surviving the season. We should be looking to stage hunt and perhaps pickup some points from either the KoM or breakaways. Stage 5 looks like a solid chance for a breakaway and then any stages from 8 on could go to the breakaway as well. We will hope to pick up points in those spots.

It would be a very rough tour for the Azteca riders, with the only point scoring ride for the team coming from Thomas Peterson on stage 6 where he finished 5th out of a breakaway. Only a few other breakaway attempts really gave the team any shot at scoring points, and the only KoM scorer for the team would abandon after a tough day 5. Hopefully we can do better in the future on these stage races where we need to find a way to get some points to support our cobbles machine.

After a disappointing January filled with very few points, the team will need to quickly rebound. With many riders here the same as in Táchira we will be looking for better results. The tactical plan won't really change, try and stay alive in the GC for Ochoa Quintero, and the rest look for breakaways and any other way to grab some points.

A unique profile that isn't quite hilly enough to keep the sprinters away and entice the puncheurs. So we send a mix of everything, our best sprinter in Canelon, our true puncher in Chaves and Summerhill because well he's Summerhill. All in all we do expect Danny will find a way to bring us some points, or if the race becomes to hard for the fast guys, then Chaves should be in a great position for some points. We are really excited to see how this one turns out.

A good tough race and although we didn't get ourselves any points there was nothing to be disappointed about in this race. Chaves marked the puncheurs that made their move and gave it his shot for the win. And later our star Danny Summerhill would give a late attack a go, giving the race excitement all the way to the finish. Neither move would be able to stick, but the race was fun.

Eritrea was a complete mess for us, we couldn't find breakaways, didn't compete in the GC, and really didn't give any effort into this race. The result is 6 days of racing with no points to show for it. This is now our second tour where opportunity for points should arise yet we manage to come away with so little, nothing in this case. Hopefully with classics season upcoming we can find some real points for our team.

A good year last year on this course, with Summerhill winning this route in the previously called Omloop Het Volk, sees us return with high hopes. As a true classic this year other riders might be more interested in getting an outright win, but we believe Danny should be able to compete with the best of them.

We didn't finish as well as we would have hoped in this race after Danny had a long day of chasing after missing the decisive move. It would hold us to a 9th place finish in a race we were really looking to find the podium. There is however always tomorrow with this race as K-B-K is only a day away.
Summerhill can't keep up as the winning group rides away.

After a moderately disappointing 9th in Omloop Het Niewsblad, Danny will be looking to improve in our second pro tour event. Though this course is far less suitable to his skills and perhaps will come down to a sprint with some of the true sprinters ready to go for the win. Nonetheless we hope for the best with Danny as we try to prove that we can compete on this terrain at any level.

Different day, same result. Danny again gets caught off earlier in the race and perhaps his finishing kick paid the price as he finishes 9th for the second straight day. The pro-tour races haven't been very kind to us this week and we will start looking forward the PCT level races where the results must improve.
Finishing sprint, Danny behind against the left barrier.

If you had to design a course for Danny Summerhill to win, it might look a lot like this, a significant amount of cobbles, with parts of it being uphill. Clearly the team is looking for a win here and our supporting riders to protect Danny however they can. Getting some other riders into point scoring position would just be a bonus, but hopefully not out of the question.

The breakthrough occurs! Danny gets the win and we finally get the much needed points for our team. A fantastic start to the PCT cobbles season for us and Summerhill. A great tactic by the team to get our young rider German Anibal Orue out in the break to protect the team from having to do too much work early. Then it comes done to just pure effort and talent from Danny who is able to overcome a late puncture and win a two man sprint against Mike Teunissen.
Orue takes the front in the early breakaway.
Summerhill suffers from a flat.
Cat and Mouse for the final two near the finish.
Victory for Danny Summerhill!!!

Our first trip to the PT level without cobblestones invovled. This is a terrific experience for several of our riders, namely Chaves and Beltran who both could use this platfor to improve over the next year especially in the hills that this profile offers. Any sort of finish in good position here is a bonus for the team.
