Bryceland is just over racing- he's been doing it since he was like 12 and wants to take a break. Don't know if he will come back though...

Syndicate is not dissolving, just new members will be joining the team.

Cedric retired from WC racing a few years ago, but he still goes to the events. He's more or less switched to being a brand ambassador for Santa Cruz and competes in some enduro events.

Such a sick race on an insane track- definitely one of the better World Champs in recent years, imo. It would have been nice to see more from Gwin and Bruni, who both suffered mechanicals, but that is what it is.

Rad to see Danny Hart laying down the thunder at every split, with Greenland right behind him.
