"From day one in 2022, he slotted straight in: rapid on track and somehow even better in the pits. World Cup podiums, a World Championship bronze medal, clutch runs when it really mattered... but just as many moments off the bike we'll never forget. Calm, no-nonsense race mornings. Dry one-liners dropped at exactly the right moment. Keeping things light while everyone else overthought it. Add freestyle rapping, the uncontrollable ostrich face, and generally being a tonic for the whole team - Loz brought it all."
"On Dec 22nd, fans of the Santa Cruz Syndicate and, downhill mountain biking in general, were given a somber yet heartwarming statement announcing that Laurie Greenland would be stepping away from his team of the last four years for the 2026 season."
"Greenland is undoubtedly one of the most exciting racers to watch throughout the season, and there is no denying the style that he brought to the Syndicate team. We'll be curious to see where the fast and fun Australian ends up for the next season of racing."
Laurie Greenland will step away from the Santa Cruz Syndicate after four seasons and will not ride with the team in 2026. Andreas Kolb is joining the Syndicate, a change that fueled speculation about roster shifts. Greenland endured a couple of less-than-ideal back-to-back seasons, prompting conversation among fans and commentators. Teammates and supporters applauded Greenland's speed, World Cup podiums, World Championship bronze, clutch performances, and distinctive off-bike presence. The Syndicate's Instagram message celebrated both competitive achievements and memorable personality traits. Fans remain curious about where the Australian racer will sign next.
