Santa Cruz Syndicate’s Steve Peat celebrates his 50th career UCI Downhill podium by placing 2nd in the UCI World Cup Downhill in Mt. Ste. Anne, Quebec. Not a stellar weekend, but “Old School” pulled it together for the Syndicate and Minnaar is licking his wounds. Sam Hill takes the win and the leader’s jersey going into Bromont next week.

The guys were flying in practice.Steve remains 2nd in overall standings while Greg drops from 1st to 3rd, with Sam taking the #1 spot. Kenda/Morewood Rider Mitch Delfs finished up 13th with a time of 4.49.54.
