Looks like the rumours have been settled. Greg will be riding Norco from now on.

Does not seem that clear looking at the below.

More than a ride - “I am the Team Director of Norco Factory Racing. I will race for at least one year and then continue to build a world-beating team with Norco. I have already placed some key staff members…”

ok shooo wee.

So he's actually looking to become a team owner/manager long term for a canadian brand.

 

 

no talk of the Devil's Peak involvement here, despite being the rumour at the big reveal in early december.

maybe the fizz ran out, when the DP guys realised how many $$$$ it would cost to have their brand in a market they are not operating in. 

 

 

edit: hope he can pull some big results this year. that would be awesome on a new bike/team

Another interview on Pinkbike too - https://www.pinkbike.com/news/interview-greg-minnaar-on-setting-up-a-dream-world-cup-team-with-norco-bicycles.html

[vanniri]

Lots of buzz around him joining, mostly reflectinh negatively on SC's "deemed" attitude and Norco's built quality.

For now GM seems to be the loved one in the story.

I can't see him joining Norco as the current rumor mill suggests.

Ok I got that well wrong.

[PregoRoll]

His Interview on VitalMTB was interesting to listen to.

Norco sound like they are out to build the most adjustable DH bike you can. For someone that puzzles like GM does, this must be really exciting! 

He will be staying with FOX suspension to so at least we will still see him on Dial'd

A class of his own.

I didn't see him in the finals last weekend - anyone know how he did?

Backing him for a great season!

I believe he hurt his problematic shoulder at Fort Bill. Hope to see the Giraffe shredding again soon!

That's what I thought but he posted on IG that he felt good at practice?

He came 45th in the semi-final so didn't make the cut. It was a brilliant race. Bruni in a class of his own.
