Minnaar, Vergier and Shaw - the new successful trio of the Santa Cruz Syndicate

Enough of the mystery - Santa Cruz Syndicate finally reveals who will be riding in their team this season. As strongly suspected, Loris Vergier and Luca Shaw, together with Greg Minnaar, will complete the most iconic downhill team chasing the best times. Josh "Ratboy" Bryceland will not be racing for the syndicate in 2017, but will continue to ride for Santa Cruz.

Of course, Steve Peat is also on hand to advise the team, especially the young riders Shaw and Vergier - no, certainly not as Drill Seargant. When the Downhill World Cup starts on April 30 in Lourdes/ FRA, we can look forward to the transcontinental trio.

Josh Bryceland explains in the video that he will no longer be touring the World Cup with the Syndicate team in 2017 - as usual in his easily understandable accent.
