 glad that he is not quitting dh only the WC but it is still a shame because he was so focused and fit before last years crash (10th in Pietermaritzburg - many riders dream about first ten and CG is not a youngster anymore [physically ofc ;-) ]. Best of luck in enduro!

 It kind of bothered me how the one host at the Andorra event asked him why he's "QUITTING". The look on Cedric's face ..."come on, did you really just ask me that...?" I think the word "RETIRING" from DH would have been more fitting. You can see it in him that it's not an easy decision of any kind, to give up the things you love the most, things you've enjoyed for so long, but new adventures await Cedric...

This guy has done so much for the sport it's unimaginable. Its video's like this that prove us all right when we think of Cedric. Although he's RETIRING from DH, the world has yet to see what this guy is truly capable of. Long live the LEGEND. Congrats Cedric, always been a fan, always WILL be a fan. Good luck in Enduro!

 I remember seeing him win the NORBA championships at Mount Snow back in the day. Dude lost his seat at the beginning of the course and still pulled off the win. I was like a little kid back then. Stoked that he's still shredding

 Awesome!! I was also at that race. I remember his Cannondale slalom bike with the lefty fork, he pulled a 1950's hotrod 3-point knockoff on his front hub.

He once punched a magician. That’s right, you heard me."

 CG a true legend of the sport, a true inspiration, at least for me personally and a great character that gave a interesting and comedic twist to the WC. Looking forward to your future projects and your mark on Enduro. Long live the mustache !!!

 Cedric was the first guy I ever wanted to be like in MTB. Right around 97-98 when I was about 7-8yrs old and really got into biking I really looked up to him and A.C. Chausson. He was my first pro autograph, and it's sad to see him stop racing WCs, but it's good to see he's staying in the game. Cheers, CG!!
