Congratulations Steve on bagging the Worlds title – an awesome run.
Without doubt the most popular and most deserved win ever in the history of mountain biking.
My Bro and I have supported you ever since the Kona and Saracen/Coors days and are just delighted for you and knew that one day you would don the rainbow jersey and claim the gold!
Well done peaty!!!! you truly deserve this mate!! All that hard work and determination has paid off. Me my missis and the dog had tears in our eyes!!!! so proud of you mate…. see you in fort william!!!!!!!!!!!
Brilliant.
I managed to hold it together as the rest of the riders came down after Steve and I even managed to stay in control as Peaty took the podium, but then I watched Rob Warner’s interview and half way through I lost it. The lump in my throat became tears on my cheeks.
Carlsberg don’t make downhill mountain bike racers, but if they did . . .
Congratulations Peaty, you thoroughly deserved it. I’m chuffed to bits for you, those rainbow stripes certainly suit you, enjoy wearing them and all that comes with it. GO ON MY SON.
Result!
You’ve made all UK Mountainbikers proud and rightfully so.
I vividly remember watching the crash in Les Gets all those years ago and am so glad you’ve vanquished that demon finally.
I hope the others were gracious in defeat, as you deserve this victory more than anyone – congratulations, you did it!
Congratulations Steve. No one deserves the rainbow stripes more than you, you are the definition of hard work and perseverance and a true inpsiration to us all. Enjoy!!!!!!!!
Im over the moon for you steve
i often wonder what a complete sense of satisfaction feels like when all your goals are fulfilled , im sure only a few people ever get there , and your certainly one of them
Legend! Truly Truly deserved World champion….I knew 5 years ago when you came so close that you’d get it one day, the appetite of a true champion never dies….
Congrats again…..there is only one man that inspired my hotmail addy ‘peatyisking@hotmail.co.uk’ confirmed yet again, this time by the stripes.
I was at the triple treat all day barracking for the Aussies and you, but to see you finally win the worlds was one of the great moments in mountain biking history. You are a credit to the sport and a dead set legend, well done. Rip it up!!
Seriously chuffed for you Steve. Every mountain biker I’ve spoken to over the past few months has been talking about your chances at this year’s worlds, so I know for a fact that you’ve made a lot of people very very proud to be your supporters.

Congratulatons! Awesome work, well done. To be at the top of any sport for such a long time is an amazing achievement and now you have the rainbow stripes to cement your legend status (not that it was in any doubt!). I was there at Fort Bill in 2005 when you won which had an amazing atmosphere so Canberra must have been amazing.
I was at the final round of the Pearce Cycles DH series at Bucknell in Shropshire on sunday and we had a massive cheering session for you. My throat is still a bit sore now! I loved that you had George written on your glove that mad me well up.
Congratulations again, Lucie xx
