ATHERTONS CLEAN UP AT ANDORRA WORL CUP
The Atherton family pulled off an amazing feat at the Andorra World Cup. Gee took the gold in the men's downhill, older brother Dan won a gold medal for his efforts in 4X whilst sister Rachel won the women's downhill.
FORT WILLIAM WORLD CUP
The Sam Hill domination that some people expected at this year's World Cup Series doesn't seem to have materialised yet. Greg Minnaar took top honours at the Fort William round in the men's downhill and Britain's Tracy Moseley took gold in the women's. |
