Dressed for the last dance…
South Africa’s Greg Minnaar is racing his 167th and final UCI Downhill Mountain Bike World Cup at Mont Sainte Anne, Canada.
In a career that spanned an incredible 27 years, Minnaar has won the UCI World Cup Series overall title three times (2001, 2005 and 2008) and the UCI Downhill World Championships title four times (2003, 2012, 2013 and 2021). He has scored more World Cup points than anyone – 19 434 – and has a podium strike rate of 51.8% (86 podiums from 166 starts).
He also holds the record for World Cup race wins at 23…
His team, Norco Race Division and kit sponsor, Fox, have created a fitting final-race strip that’s all celebration!
It’s designed to mimic a champagne bottle - green shoes and pants for the bottle, jersey fading from green to white to represent bubbles and a gold helmet up represent the foil and cork.
The bouquet comprises flowers, representing the countries where he has won his World Cup races…
Cheers to Greg Minnaar, son, husband, brother, uncle, friend, mentor, hero, gentleman, the greatest male downhill racer of all time and probably South Africa’s finest ever sportsman…
