DIPSLICK Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 Silky smooth, even though we knew the results you could see from the first corner he was on fire, it looked like he was on a pavement on the side of the track compared to some of the riders MACHINE
MariusL Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Anyone know why it doesn't show on the results that he rides for SantaCruz/Syndicate? Just a blank where his team name (sponsor should be)... surely Greg is not a "privateer"? http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/uci-mtb-world-cup-xco-3-lenzerheide-2015/downhill-final/results

Uni Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 And I doubt whether the Minister of Sport even knows his name. What a hero!!He was more concerned with the fillies at the Durban July

RockCoach Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 And a couple of weeks ago people mentioned they dont think he will win a race again... 2 wins in 3 racesAnd that middle race at Leogang he was in contention too. Only 2 seconds back with a couple of mistakes. The helmet knock in the start house required him to straighten goggles and he washed out on one of the last corners.

splat Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Silky smooth, even though we knew the results you could see from the first corner he was on fire, it looked like he was on a pavement on the side of the track compared to some of the ridersMACHINEHe was so smooth it looked like he was going slowly in comparison to the others who were a bit on the wild side.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 He was so smooth it looked like he was going slowly in comparison to the others who were a bit on the wild side.yeah, I thought that as well... Just shows though. When you're smooth, you're fast...
Stretch Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Warner had never been a massive Greg fan...respectful..but not a big fan...even he was waxing lyrical about him at the xc yesterday.
nigelhicks Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Well most male wins..[emoji6] Rachel leads with most wins by anyone ever[emoji85] And it's most world cup wins...nico has 12 wc and 9 world champs wins Rachel had something stupid like 29 wc wins Most DH World Cup wins at 18 wins. Not MTB in general. Greg is the most Winningest for the men ... not overall ... And Rachel does not have the most DH World Cup wins. .. That record belongs to Anne Caroline Chausson. 55 World Cup wins13 times World Champion5 World Cup titles2 time Dual Slalom World Champion2 time 4 Cross World ChampionBMX Olympic champ
dman2 Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 When xco and dh are at same venue same weekend xco is on Saturday, think change came last yr.. can't remember They alternate every year. So next DH will be on the Sunday again.
G00SE Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 What made this win even sweeter, is that Claudio was talking about how the short steep course doesnt really play to Greg's strengths.... guess he proved the swiss wrong!
nigelhicks Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 They alternate every year. So next DH will be on the Sunday again. Hey Dman2, this is not entirely correct. The UCI changed the format at the beginning of 2014 to have DH on Sat rather than Sunday. And it has stayed the same for 2015.Prior to this the DH was held on a Sunday (2009 to 2013)But it used to be that the DH was on a Saturday (before 2009). So it doesn't alternate. See the press release regarding the format change last year.http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/uci-brings-changes-to-mountain-bike-world-cup-format-for-2014/
