I'd love to see Josh back at a WC, but if the rumours are right it's hard to see how it could happen with the new rules.

Very unlikely for this to happen with the new rules

It will be nearly as straightforward as before. Either on a qualifed team, nominated by his federation or qualify through a feeder series.

only semi related I guess but it’s been talked about here before, they do count as a race team and might get some more eyes here


Bex Baraona and Chloe Taylor had their garage broken into and everything bike related stolen

Hopefully he stays involved with the Norco team for a few years. Otherwise, this makes Santa Cruz’s decision look very smart and makes me think “Oof, poor Norco and the people that got canned to pay him”

If I remember correctly, in a podcast Greg said that his deal includes after he retires, running the team, developing the bike. I would imagine he wants to have a similar role like Peaty does with Santa Cruz.

I'd love to see Greg post "I'm not going anywhere, I don't know what the UCI is on about!"

Greg is tight with WB. His doco was produced by Eurosports/WB and it wouldn't surprise me if he moves into a commentary role next year.

Looks to me like it was a combined announcement, story posted by uci_mountainbike and gregminnaar.

2024 is Greg’s retirement lap. Released the career documentary at the start of the season, last world champs at his “home” Andorran track, will announce his retirement from racing world cups towards the end of the season.

Speaking of old, his former Global Racing teammate Sik Mik raced today.
I haven't seen an interview of him as yet.

We gotta hear from the legend.

Ups the asking price if a deal isn’t already done

Remember Reece Wilson saying when he won, that there was something about winning the world champs in his contract, and it change the outcome of his season after he won it.

He went quite swiftly straight to Max after the race if you saw that.

I think it was a case of Reece being dropped but him winning triggered a clause where they had to extend his contract. I guess if the rider doesn't want to take up the option, it's fair game, so I'd say no changes for Loris? I mean it sounds like he's the one that wants out after all...

That's true. But did you see the interaction between him and Greg. He's going to Norco.
