It would be a unique day for the field as the cobbles near the end of the course would make for a tougher finish, but the leaders didn't feel every move needed to be marked and Danny chose to defend the jersey today rather than truely attack again. However a big move from Boonen would force his hand late to try and ensure he retained enough lead for the last two days.
Danny would defend his lead with a 8th place finish, Boonen would move to 1'13" behind and might be the biggest threat at this point with only a likely sprint stage and a time-trial left.

Seriously can we just pretend this tour isn't going on right now? We have an exciting lead in the KBC - De Panne Tour, and this keeps getting in the way with absolutely no good news other than we are still riding in the competition.

An incredibly flat stage, and only need to protect our lead. We would let the breakaway stay out front as much as we could as they would be able to wipe away some of the bonus seconds at the finish if they beat the peloton.
Luckily the plan would just work, as the four escapees were able to take the top spots, though just ahead of a quick sprinting Boonen who would have to settle for 5th. Summerhill safely in at 13th for the team.

Yes this race continues on, little we can do to stop it or make any real impression on it. Happily this is the last day for this race, and being a TTT there is nothing we will really be able to add into this finish. A painfully dreadful race for us as we never made a breakaway at any point with that being our primary goal of the race.

The final stage is a short 12km flat ITT. The key is simply holding onto the race lead for Danny Summerhill.
It wouldn't be a very good time, and Danny would finish 70th on the stage, but that would be good enough to retain his lead as Vanspeybroeck was only able to gain 7 seconds, while Boonen about half of his needed time back as well.
So we take our first GC in team history! With our biggest signing Danny Summerhill making it happen. There will be plenty of excitement tonight as the team will get some rest now before their next race. As some extra notes, Summerhill would finish 2nd in points, while young domestique Samuel Coronel would finish 2nd for best Young Rider as well.

Congrats! The best guy again won once again. Boonen seems to only fight for third places in this year's PCT.

A home soil race for us and important to our sponsors. We will line up our best for this race, but we likely will not be a favorite in any way. Perhaps a late Summerhill attack, or maybe a surprising show of form for Farrar. We can only hope for the best.

Our team wouldn't be hugely involved in much of the action over the day, we didn't get into the breakaway, but also had little interest in pulling on the front for the peloton.
Likely this day could have been a complete waste but Danny Summerhill makes a late surge and is able to grab 9th place for us and add up a few more points this season.

With Interlagos GP happening on the same day, and being a more valuable race to our team it is of little surprise that our squad here isn't the best. Look for some of our riders to be attacking early in the day if we have any chance of success here.

For the first time in team history, we will have our 2nd running of a race. Farrar takes leadership this year (Haedo was here last year), but again we probably need to look mostly to attacking to have much success, and hope if that fails Tyler can give us a good sprint.

Our team would fight early to get into the breakaway however the peloton wasn't going to let it happen and after much work, a breakaway finally did get established, but didn't inlcude any of our riders. Yohann Gene would end up having to get in the team car after a crash, which might have been the only highlight to the race for us.

Like our other race today, we were unable to get in the breakaway, however we also feel much stronger about our chances in the sprint. Farrar would work to get himself into a good position on the wheel of Boeckmans (Bpost) and the Venchi train.
As they reach the line Tyler would find a gap in the middle of the road and would be kicking for the finish along with others as a close result was sure to come!
He wouldn't have quite enough power to get by and would take 5th on the day, still a very solid result for the team in a sprint and a good showing by Tyler to show he can still finish strong.

A unique and likely tough race, stage one looks like the perfect launching ground for Summerhill to open up with a win, followed by two very tough "flat" stages and then two true sprint stages. To get a GC win, likely Danny will need to put enough time into the sprinters (namely Boonen) on stage one to ensure that bonus seconds from the remaining four stages cannot unseat him.

Salinas has been quiet for a while now, but David Veilleux has been riding in the Giro d'Italia, and while spending the vast majority of the race as a domestique, he did get a chance in the breakaway on stage 10 and the break would nearly get the better of the field. David would hold on for 13th on the stage.

Danny Summerhill would be the favorite for stage one, and with the way he has been riding this year, he very well should be. While the breakaway would contain a strong rider in BPost's Albert, he isn't the big threat, and we wouldn't worry too much about him.
A rare bad decision late, would put Summerhill need the back of the small group competing for the win, and could have very easily cost him the win as they made the push towards the finish on the uphill cobbles, though he would still manage to take third on the day.

Some tough finishing circuits might be enough to ruin the sprinters chances here, on a day where we would certainly like to be attacking and see if we can't get Danny into yellow. This plan we would execute to perfection as Summerhill lauches his attack from 6km out.
But it wouldn't be and worse race leader Matteo Trentin (Risa - Ergon) would increase his overall lead by finishing second and getting the time bonus.

The plan today would be the same as yesterday as another tough finish may provide enough of a place to launch an attack and beat the sprinters to the line. This time it is Vanmarcke who launches the attack, and Summerhill is eager to join.
The pair are caught, and one man just survives from the break to take the win. Farrar found his sprinting legs a bit too today taking 5th for the team.

The easiest day on the route, this one should be for the spinters and likely another chance for Farrar, but we hope Summerhill won't get up too easily. Unfortunately for the team, Tyler would get caught out in a bad position midway through the race and behind a split that is caused by the crosswinds. The team is unable to really take much out of today, while rivals move ahead of Danny Summerhill in the GC.

Some early cobbles might toughen up the race a little, but another route designed with the sprinters in mind may close the door for Summerhill. The team hatches a plan though to help out, and gets Samuel Coronel into the break of the day.
Crosswinds cause havoc in the peloton and as it disintegrates Summerhill joins Maes on an attack from 25 kilometers out, with the breakaway still in front of the pair.
The two join the break, and immediately Coronel sets the pace trying to give everything he can for his team leader and a chance still to take the race.
Danny sees that his teammate is out of gas and makes his move late as the peloton was closing in, would he be able to hold on, can he get any time against the leaders to take the GC?!
It's a stage win for Summerhill! Unfortunately there weren't any time gaps so all he would get are the bonus seconds, enough to move him up to 2nd overall behind stage one winner Matteo Trentin.
