suspension. That year Greg podiumed at a World Cup points series race for the first time. The following two years Greg rode for the Global Racing team, aboard similar bikes as the previous years, and on this team, at the age of 19, he won the overall World Cup points series in the Elite downhill. In 2003 Greg switched to the Haro Lee Dungarees team, which used Intense designed and built DHR frames for the downhill and their own short travel Werx trail bike frames for Four Cross, with Manitou suspension. It was aboard this team that, at the age of 21, Greg became World Champion of downhill. In 2004, Greg was offered a spot on ''Team G Cross Honda'', which used one-off internally geared frames made by Honda, with a Showa suspension. He accepted and stayed for four years, winning his second World Cup points series overall victory in 2005. The 2007 season ended on a bittersweet note with a dislocated and fractured shoulder early in his winning World Championship final run, although Greg got back on the bike to salvage a painful 4th-place finish. In addition, Greg was forced to switch teams yet again when Honda pulled out of the sport, and he chose the Santa Cruz Syndicate team, alongside riders Steve Peat, Nathan Rennie, and Josh Bryceland for the 2008 season. Minnaar was appointed as a member of the inaugural UCI Athletes' Commission in 2011. Minnaar is currently racing for Norco Factory Racing as the team captain for the 2024 UCI World Cup Downhill season. After racing at the highest level for 25 years, Minnaar officially retired from World Cup racing 6 October 2024 at the final round of the UCI World Cup Downhill season in Mont-Sainte-Anne, Canada. In 2024, Minnaar went on to become the new director of the Norco Race Division. He is focused on working with the Norco engineers to develop equipment to change the game. He is also committed to finding and nurturing the next generation of talent in his position as director and as a mentor to the Norco youth development team, The Source. Minnaar is described as an experienced leader on and off the trail, setting a new standard for the team and stepping up the bar for the future. In 2025, the new riders for the Norco Race Division were announced, comprising an equal split of men and women, a downhill legend and up-and-comers who are already turning heads.
