I know I am going to have all the keys in my hand to do a killer job. See you guys at the next event with my new bikes and other partners to celebrate some good moments with the Brigade. Special thanks to all the fans who support me by e-mails and on Facebook! As I say, The Brigade is coming!

"Santa Cruz Bicycles is very excited to be the frame supplier for Cedric Gracia's Racing Brigade. There are few riders who are competitive in multiple disciplines these days, especially one's that have a great attitude and personality such as Cedric. We look forward to helping Cedric achieve his goals".

He is not on the syndicate. He's on the CG brigade or w/e. The syndicate has different sponsors like avid, crankbrothers, wtb, dt Swiss, etc.

Look at the headset cap having "CG" on it..how cool..and so many sponsorships! 
Just wondering...why did he leave Commencal?

He has a 3 year contract with Commencal and he chose not to renew it. He, like Barel wanted to have his own team.

I know he's not with the syndicate. But man oh man does Santa Cruz have an impressive list of DH riders. To have CG, Minnaar, Peat & Bryceland all on one bike really says something.

well hell ride the v10 for dh
but hes got a good image as a freerider, helped create the furious and would be a promoter of driver 8

To be honest his v10 looks pretty ugly in the blank red :/ Nice forks, stem and bars and love the personalized top cap but he needs some graphics and maybe a change of coulour.
What do you guys think?

i find the v-10 normal, nothin crazy but as someone said, its a training bike, just to get used to the feel of it. Knowing cedric, you will be able to see his v-10 from the top of the gate when you're at the bottom of the track
hes an... eccentric person and he likes to flash!
as for the top cap, it is the new cedric gracia headset signature series http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MKwUh9sgKE0/S1F3LVMEBbI/AAAAAAAAAe0/dbbyIJyKQaU/s1600/across-Cedric%2BGracia%2314C6C3%2B(3).jpg enjoy!
