News bot Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 It didn't rain in Fort William, so Peaty went gravel grinding, Ratboy took up water sports, and Greg hung around to kickstart his season in the latest episode of THE SYNDICATE. Click here to view the article gwhite, 428 others, Cookie88 and 1 other 4
Gen Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 Goodness me.. with everything that has gone on I completely missed that it was Steve Peat's last world cup... What a character and what a team. ChUkKy 1
Headshot Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 Just his last Fort William I believe - still a few more races this year. Ratboy is off the wall - they need to reign him in a bit. His last comment "I had a wicked weekend pity about the racing" or something like that. Priorities perhaps? :-)

His last comment "I had a wicked weekend pity about the racing" or something like that. Priorities perhaps? :-) "Off the wall" might be a bit strong. He doesn't seem to be the sharpest tool in the shed, but I think he does take his racing seriously. ChUkKy and Gen 2

NicoBoshoff Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 Well he is an avid Noam Chomsky reader. Make of that what you will...

Jewbacca Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 I think Ratboy is brilliant. I also don't think a team like the Syndicate would back him so strongly if he wasn't fully committed. Peatey is looking a bit 'heavy' on the bike..... and off it! Gen 1

Peatey is looking a bit 'heavy' on the bike..... and off it!He is indeed - but I'm not sure he is trying as hard as GM to go faster this year. His results have been dismal for such a talented rider.
Jewbacca Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 He is indeed - but I'm not sure he is trying as hard as GM to go faster this year. His results have been dismal for such a talented rider. Bad results in 3 races... I do agree that he has been disappointing but Gwyn was rubbish for a season, look at Danny Hart who went missing for 2 years etc... Very few of the guys on the DH circuit have been able to consistently be on the podium year in year out... Minaar and Peatey?! There is probably a lot more to the story than any of us know. I think from our point of view just enjoy him as an eccentric, very talented guy. We aren't paying his salary and like I said before, a team like SC syndicate wouldn't keep him about if they weren't entirely happy with where he was and/or there was something else afoot. So much judgement/strong opinion being handed out without anyone knowing the truth. Ratboy makes me happy. His Enthusiasm and energy is awesome. He has such amazing style and talent. I also really hope he isn't wasting it but I like to think he has a support team to keep him moving forward positively, otherwise we might see a new face in the SC colours, although I sincerely hope not.

Great when we see more of him i.e when he's on the podium rather than just in the team vidoes... Jewbacca 1
Barry Stuart Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 Rat Boy is there to balance out Gwin.For example, here's Gwin having a good time: Vaalhaai and Thermophage 2
