Could the Cannucks jersey mean Finn Iles? There was a RBTV show last year where Finn was puzzling his riding and Peaty chimed in with some advice. The "oh yeah that's a good point" look from Finn after that could nudge him switching teams to get some GOAT mentoring.

Pretty sure that the other half of that smile is at bottom right in the puzzled image. You can see the Minnaar tooth gap there.
I’m sure you’re right, but Jordi must loving this image.

Interesting idea, Finn is an avid Cannucks fan. However don’t you think he’d announce his departure from specialized? He was also in Morgan Hill with Bruni and Grice late last year posting about being at specialized HQ

Yes, quite possibly. I guess a lot could depend upon the date his contract is signed on and runs until and syncing contract renewals or team transfers.

Add clue you find to the list:

Bear, gold stone, redbull hat, raindow stripes = Goldstone.
KITT = Hoffmann
Goat eye, raindow stripes = Minnaar
Loose RB hat = Greenland

Nothing Fox (clothing) jumping ut at me. EDIT, tell a lie, the Fox logo is in there on the 2nd image, under the big 'E'
Also, the first picture has the Dogwood flower which is the official flower of BC for a further nod towards Goldstone.

That PB is using this forum as ”inspiration” isn't new. Don't they say plagiarism is the most sincere form of flattering?

But the coolest thing in all of this must be for sure the fact that in what we can call drier and drier rumours season, due to the teams being much more careful with their leaking of info, The Syndicate took some time and put some effort into this. And no, I won't believe this is just a marketing stunt, just to draw some more attention onto them, I believe this is a nod to this forum, as in ”guys, we're enjoying this too, keep it up”. Pretty much The Syndicate giving something back to the fans. And this is just awesome!

Regarding the trade team status, I think they are back to this since a while now, but when they were denied being a trade team in 2015, I recall it was due to some UCI pettiness regarding jersey colors, something minor definitely. And it brought us this great tumblr: https://notatradeteam.com/

Otherwise, my IQ is very little it seems. I am struggling to find KITT in the Syndicate post and it annoys me like hell. Can somebody please explicitly point it out to me? Thanks!

All contracts in cycling are due December 31 regardless the date they were signed.

Indeed, Syndicate have always been generous with trolling you guys, this is some sort of kudos for figuring it all out already.

Nice work, especially the photoshops...

Small bit of news. Hill off of 100%. Maybe back to TLD?
He posted some stories on IG today of his kids riding bikes with what looked like brand new FOX dropframe helmets so my guess is Fox.
Although I would love to see him back with TLD.

So great! That was a lot of fun, awesome to see they enjoy the fun of the merry go round of riders signing for which team.

Just realised, unless they all signed 1 year contracts (and Greg calls it a day after this year), we won't have any puzzles games with Santa Cruz Syndicate in the 2023 Rumors thread.

That makes me feel a bit sad. Sad

A lot has been said about Greg leaving ONeill, but Fox must be paying a premium to get Peaty off Royal. Sick team tho!

"After teasing the new team lineup yesterday with a cryptic post that put keyboard detectives to work deciphering who would be on the team, the Santa Cruz Syndicate announced today that it will add Nina Hoffman, Laurie Greenland, and Jackson Goldstone to its roster for the upcoming season." - The PinkSite

It looks like they actually gave ya'll credit! I won't say us, because I'm just a lowly reader here and others were the true CSI masters.
