Santa Cruz Syndicate’s Steve Peat and Josh Bryceland are your newly crowned British National Champions in Elite and Junior men.  This makes the entire Syndicate downhill squad national champions of their respective countries; Nathan Rennie Australian National Champ, and Greg Minnaar South African National Champ, and now the two British titles.

Santa Cruz Syndicate’s Josh Bryceland brings home the Gold at the UCI World Championship Junior Downhill race today at Val Di Sole.

The downhill seeding race for the UCI World Championship Downhill took place today in Val Di Sole, Italy under blue skies, which is typical of this region, but it didn’t seem that way early in the week with light rain showers wetting the track.  Racers played it easy and some played tactics in the seeding run as all riders are qualified and no points are given for the seeding run, so not much was on the line.

The first NISSAN UCI World Cup was met with much anticipation and excitement.  Websites were buzzing all week with news from the event and journalists and television crews were all over the beautiful Pohorje Mountain situated on the outskirts of the city of Maribor in Slovenia.  The outing for the Syndicate was successful and dismal all in the same day with Steve Peat and Greg Minnaar headlining the highlights as they finished 3rd and 5th respectively while Josh Bryceland suffered a massive get-off at the end of the rock garden while having a screamer of a run.
