And most of South Africa will have no idea what Greg just achieved, and many of those that would wanted watch would not be able to thanks to the Geoblocking

Supersport showed. I came across it by chance after #snowday

Greg's first World Champs (win?), 18 years ago....

I think the bike on the podium was the one in the vid, judging by the size

This is on an Orange, I think 2001 - his 2003 World Champs maiden victory was on a Haro/Intense.

My point being that not every one has DSTV and watch the DH on RBTV.

Not too sure what happened to the XC coverage, but glad I at least got to see this epic win.! ????????

Stunning to think that a couple of Greg’s competitors that he beat today were just being born in the year that he first won World’s races. 

Then again, one’s lovemaking “finesse powers” only really start in one’s forties.  ????

As chilled as a surfer dude. Tough as titanium nails. The persistence of a pitbull. Just legendary.

So would Greg go down in history as the only world champ to have won  Worlds on diff wheel sizes?

He is the only winner across three different decades.

And look at his medal haul… just about every venue (almost).

Shows he won silver in Cairns (2017), but Michael Hannah shows on the medal tables

Brilliant Greg, not to shabby for a 39 yr old

Saw him win in 2003 at Lugano and just watched this now on red bull replay, what a great surprise for Sunday evening.

Remember when he was a lightie racing in SA before he started doing world cups etc... a great example for kids of a multi talented sportsman.

What a Legend GM is .... my 10 yr old son screaming at the tv, priceless .
