'High action, crashes, blood, guts - that's what Americans like' - Cade Bickmore and Danny Summerhill join USPro crit champs Bourgoyne, Fetzer at new Cadence Cyclery p/b Waldo Racing team

'Ragtag group of four dudes, black minivan and five bicycles' won big in 2025 and launches '85-foot mega rig' for criterium-only statement across US

US racing veterans Cade Bickmore and Danny Summerhill are among the recent signings for Team Cadence Cyclery p/b Waldo Racing for 2026. Based in Texas, a new setup blends two US domestic elite teams into one new criterium-focused powerhouse.

Returning as the anchors for the domestic-elite squad are USPro criterium champions Lucas Bourgoyne, the elite men's title holder, and Luke Fetzer, the U23 men's winner.

"Our goal is to go out there and do what we did last year, which is win a ton. We will do only crits. We are taking the approach that we are a crit team through and through, and because of that, we go and hit all the biggest crits. No Tour of the Gila or Tucson Bicycle Classic, 

it is crits," returning team leader Bourgoyne told Cyclingnews.

"At the end of the day, what drives viewership and what people come out to watch is crit racing in America. So that's why we're investing all of our time there, because out of all the things that we think have a sustainable model, we think that this is the way forward.

"We need the biggest events to go and tell our story. And maybe we just get lucky enough to win it too. So why not give it our best damn go?"

Other new signings are Justin Bolde, who was part of Waldo Racing for the last three seasons, and Brock Mason. Returning are Barbados national champion Greg Vanderpool and Cesar Serna of Mexico. Serna has the most tenure with seven seasons at Cadence Cyclery. Vanderpool makes the team his home for a fourth year.

Last year, the Cadence Cyclery squad fired on all cylinders at USA CRITS and American Criterium Cup series, comprising many of the top one-day races in the country, winning the overall team classifications. Bourgoyne and Fetzer went one-two in the USA CRITS individual standings, with Serna fifth. In the ACC individual standings, Summerhill was third overall for L39ION of Los Angeles last year, with Bourgoyne fourth and Fetzer eighth.
