You must be asking what CG on SC means. As you probably already know Cedric Gracia won't ride Commencal anymore.
It was secret until today what he'll ride...... well it is Santa Cruz

I'll openly admit I didn't see this one coming...my money was on a manufacturer which doesn't have much presence in the WC scene ( so CG can fly the flag for them ). By getting a V10 he will play second fiddle to the Syndicate boys....shame really.

Ahh just seen that Riffle and Hart got on Giant...my guess is that CG was negotiating with Giant and it fell through ( as everything was pointing towards them ). Just my view though ( sad to see him on a non-commie ride, he did push the brand to were it is today ).
So given that the Athertons are still around, if you were to add ONE rider to the team, someone who could stand alone and represent Commie, who would it be??
I would want a 'freerider'....probably fellow 'PRO' rider Vanderham?

As you can see on the upper picture he's not riding Marzocchi anymore. Also it looks like that he'll be braking with Hopes.
Here
you can see his sponsors.

Bah I dunno it has a certain ring to it and I'm sure its all meant very tongue in cheek, especially since its just him.
I agree with Vic Tim though I think this is a great shame, would've been really nice to see him on one of the lesser known brands. All of facebook had their money on Sunn, but as Hart said in his Dirt interview, full WC sponsorships seem hard to come by these days.
