Santa Cruz Syndicate’s Greg Minnaar (SRAM/RockShox) reels it in for his third win of the season in Bromont, Canada, winning his 11th career UCI downhill race in the 111th UCI World Cup Series event.

Steve Peat makes a costly mistake and comes 7th, and Josh Bryceland steps it up and places 9th. READ MORE

MOON A GIANT DAY
I have to admit I just stole these last two posts from Hyperfomance’s blog but seriously this latest one is priceless. So I didn’t realise it but Santa Cruz bikes have a blog, it’s actually a perfect mix of humour and interesting stuff… on the humorous side of things this post about Giant bikes shooting their new catalogue on local SC trails is GOLDEN.
