RATTY ON A ROLL, BRYCELAND TAKES 2ND AT MT. STE ANNE!
Mt. Ste. Anne, Quebec, Canada
New school is in session and Josh Bryceland (Santa Cruz Syndicate/SRAM/
The week unfolded well with mixed weather conditions. Lot's of practice in the sloppy mud went well for the boys and the qualifier went even better.
Saturday's practice was under beautiful sunny skies and the track tacked up and was drying quickly. I was taking photos of Josh and overheard the comment, "That man will be on the podium tomorrow." Everyone could see the confidence in Josh's riding and it was great to see a great performance net him a great result in the final. Josh says, "I was happy to improve on my qualifying which is something I've struggled to do and I put a smooth run together on one of the longest tracks on the circuit. I got to finally get a world cup podium and follow up the previous weekends success at the national round. I felt more nervous about going up on the podium than I did about the race!"
Steve comments on the weekend, "It was a mixed weekend for the Syndicate. Ratty Bryce did us proud and it was awesome to see. Unlucky for Greg with a crash and the good news is he's okay for next week. It was a frustrating result for me."
Greg says, "I felt pretty decent on the track and I like this track. I had a great qualy and felt I could've backed it up in the final. I'd been playing around with suspension and my bike felt good all week which was what I needed to try to topple ‘ole Gwinny. Unfortunately I made a mistake in the woods and took a tumble, but the season isn't over yet. I'm still in second overall due to Gee's bad luck; he would have been up there without a puncture,"
