Greg Minnaar recently left the Santa Cruz Syndicate team after a glittering 16 years of success, and the worst-kept secret in downhill mountain biking was confirmed as the GOAT announced his move to the Norco Downhill Race Team for the 2024 season. So that's that the end of story, we can all relax and look forward to the first downhill race of the season at Fort William in May with the knowledge Minnaar will be throwing his leg over a bike for at least one more year of racing. Or is it...?
I was lucky enough to sit down on a chat with Greg Minnaar, hosted by Ric McLaughlin, the lead commentator at Warner Bros. Discovery+ for the UCI Mountain Bike World Series. Minnaar divulged a lot more behind his move to Norco. He revealed how it came about, and more about his more than just racing role, as the South African legend plans for his mountain biking future when the curtain finally comes down on his peerless racing career.
