Downhill is in a tumultuous period, the last few years have seen more changes to the sport than there have been over the last couple of decades. New broadcasters, racing formats, evolving tracks, and demands on bikes and riders are higher than ever while purse strings are getting tighter. For better or worse, changes are inevitable, however until recently there has been one constant – Greg Minaar.
The 2024 downhill World Cup season also marks a big year of changes for Greg Minaar. After 16 years with the Santa Cruz Syndicate, Greg set off the downhill rumor mills with the announcement that he would be leaving the Syndicate. A month later Greg would sign with Norco Factory racing team in a three-year deal that will mark a new chapter in the GOAT’s career.
