Ausência dos irmãos Atherton na copa do mundo do downhill

Rachel teve uma queda na pista da prova do último domingo e deslocou o ombro esquerdo, ela passa bem e deve retornar as atividades na próxima etapa! Seu irmão Gee teve uma lesão maior antes da primeira etapa do ano e só deve iniciar as atividades no meio da temporada, mas esteve em Fort William circulando pelo local. Veja as publicações deles abaixo.

Not how I imagined spending Fort William World Cup! Absolutely devastated to dislocate my left shoulder in practice this morning, off the ridiculously slow muddy sticky drop in the woods…. with the help of a guy on the side of the track we relocated it – X rays show nothing broken but I have to sit out the race today!!! It was SO EMOTIONAL watching the women racing – they all did so good in the horrible conditions in the woods- that wood section was so awful to ride! Mad respect to all the girls racing, but THANK YOU to the crowd & fans for making me feel like I still belong even tho I didn't race! I'll be back!! 🙈😘🤘 #fortwilliamworldcup

I'll say what Geeman said "Fort William has given us some amazing races over the years- today wasn't one of them!" #siblingtrouble #downnotout #fuckedlimbs

Cheers Fort William, good weekend! And thanks to so many people that came by to say hello and wish me well! It means a lot. Can't wait to be back racing in front of you guys.
