Je pensais pas qu’il signerait pour autant d’années. Il a déjà 42 je pensais qu’il ferait qu’une pige pour pas partir sur saison moyenne de 2023
Je me demande si il ira vraiment au bout de son contrat
Dans le podcast de PB il dit qu'il prendra surement sa retraite à la fin de 2024 mais il restera team manager.

Sarah: You said earlier, if you do have that incredible season this year, you might think about retiring, but you've signed a three-year contract. What would your role be in the next two years if you do feel like this is an incredible year, you're happy, you have the results you want, and you feel like it's a good time to retire on top? What would you do next year?
Greg: What next? Well, I think continuing to direct this team. It's been a lot of work. I must say, dealing with so many different aspects of the team, it's been a new experience. But I want to continue to push the boundaries here. You know, support the athletes as much as we can, bring up the new generation of racers, and then have a World Cup winning team. That to me is the next phase. I think we're going to be looking hard for riders to join Norco and I think that's going to be really cool. I think this year is gonna be really, really cool to showcase what we have and to show the level of commitment from this incredible team to push into racing. I mean, it's gonna be a full on race environment.
That's the reason we've got guys like Alan Milway leading the way with team management because, I would say, you know, deep down I love racing, I'm very competitive, but also I have possibly a little bit too much fun sometimes. So I think it's important this culture of racing, because if you're really prepared to race and then you're trying to have the best performance possible, you can have a fun in and around, but everything's still peaking towards racing and I think that's super important for a team. It's going to be fun, you know, setting it up, but then leading the way and trying to also continue developing. I'll continue helping to make this bike as fast as possible. And like I said, just to support these riders and also looking for new talent and bringing new talent in.
Sarah: It sounds like it's almost like a blessing in disguise. I mean, there probably couldn't be both you and Steve Peat retiring as Santa Cruz Syndicate leaders or team managers. So you've kind of created this space for yourself. It sounds like that you have now a retirement plan that you can continue going to all the World Cup races if you want to.
Greg: Yeah, I mean, I don't think it's similar to Steve in a way. Steve was running more the performance side. I think this is more directing the team and helping direct the direction of how we go and bringing that culture of into the team, which, you know, it's quite a bit different. But I think what would be similar is, Steve and I are great friends and to keep seeing him at World Cup racing, I think that would be a great, a lot of fun.
