Greg Minnaar, the winner of four UCI Downhill World Championships, has announced that he is joining Norco Factory Racing Team for the 2024 UCI Downhill World Cup season. The move comes after the news that the 42 year-old had parted ways with the Santa Cruz Syndicate, a team he spent 16 years with, broke at the end of 2023.   

The Pietermaritzburg native made the Norco announcement in a chat with Warner Brothers Discovery Sports’ Ric McLaughlin. Details surrounding the rest of the team will become public later in the off season.
