  • The rain as Les Gets changed the game turning the previously fast track into a slip and slide. While most riders struggled to stay on their bike Greg was able to use the conditions to his advantage and take home a podium position.

    Best of luck for 2024, Greg. I first met you when I was about 14/15 and you had just started winning World Cups/Champs. I'm now 36 and you're still at the top of your game. Bravo

    I stopped racing in 2004, but at that time the courses were still composed of gnar gnar and it always favored the best skills instead of the best fitness. No groomed BMX jumps or fire roads and open ski slopes, just off camber slope crossing and fresh wood sections that made your ass pucker
    Greg knows how to deal with the toughest of courses

      10:50 I get the sense that his saying, "We needed the intermediates," after mentioning mud tires, makes it the final word and the tire they chose.

    Those fork settings are insane for the ordinary guy. It's just not gonna work for your average Joe doing your average speed with average physicality. I can see how most of it is probably bang on for a world cup rider but those rebound speeds seem a bit suss
