Santa Cruz Syndicate is excited to announce the addition of Josh Bryceland to their powerhouse gravity squad. Bryceland, the up and coming 17 year-old from Manchester, Great Britain, is the reigning UCI World Cup Junior Downhill Champion and British National Junior Downhill Champion. Steve Peat has been grooming him for a few years now, and this year Bryceland has proven that he has the talent to play with the big boys on the UCI World Cup circuit and has earned himself a position on the Syndicate.

“I’m so happy to join the Syndicate. Steve and Nathan are two riders I have looked up to for a long time and to now be on the Syndicate with them, it’s a dream come true! My goals for ’08 are to consistently place top 15 at World Cups, keep hold of the yellow jersey, and to podium at World Champs,” says an excited Bryceland.

Steve Peat is pleased to have his protégé onboard and says, “I have been helping Josh out for a long time now and I like what I see. He has the drive to be the best and I think he fits the Syndicate mentality well. He is already an amazing rider at a young age and I think he will flourish riding along side Rennie and myself. Welcome aboard Josh!”
