History
2007
2008
2009
The 2009 was Steve Peat's year, as he could win the UCI World Championships, after being placed 2nd four times before, including the past year, being almost overrun by Sam Hill for more than 10 seconds, but Hill's fall kept Peat first until Gee Atherton from the Animal/Commençal got a better time. Greg Minaar got second place, keeping the syndicate as the best Downhill team on the UCI's ranking, seconded by Madcatz Factory Team.
2010
2010 was Greg Minnaar's year. He won the first round the second round and came second at round five. The points going into the final round couldn't have been closer, with rival Gee Atherton there was about 3 points difference after qualifying at the sixth round but Gee Atherton took the win and the overall win.
