Gee Atherton, Professional Downhill MTB Racer

Gee Atherton needs very little in the way of an introduction. As one of the fastest humans on a mountain bike, he's always been a personal favorite of mine on World Cup race day. His 2017 season was impacted by a severe hip dislocation at a local Fort William race and he was off the bike for months. He eventually returned to racing at the Lenzerheide World Cup DH, significantly earlier than expected. With the 2018 World Cup downhill season just a few weeks a way, I was stoked to get Gee on The Inside Line to discuss the upcoming season, racing in general and what makes him tick. -gordo
