Last forecast I saw was for a dry Sunday. Recon the track looks quite firm after the rain - nothing like a UK bog of a course. The rocks are slippery now but if it doesn't rain for a day or so, it should be perfect for some fast times. Well here's hoping...

Santa Cruz Syndicate

 

Thanks to the UCI relaxing the rules on team clothing, the Syndicate is now an official trade team again with all three riders rocking the clothing of their choice - expect more wardrobe changes than you shake a stick at. Here, Doug Hatfield is putting the finishing touches to Brycelands's bike. Will we see the Rat return to the dominating pace he had in 2014?

Have they any timed training today - dying to see how the boys and girls stack up?
