Fresh from a Silver at the World Championships in Fort William, Rachel Atherton piloting her Team Animal Commencal Supreme DH bike has taken the Gold at Maribor Slovenia by a huge 8.63 second margin!

Gee couldn't quite match that and settled for the Silver in the Elite men behind Sam Hill ( who added the World Cup title to his World Championship )

Eldest brother Dan stepped up earlier in the weekend and took a Bronze in the 4X

With only one UK race left that ends an impressive ( and eventful ) season for the Atherton family. Gee managed to finish 5th in both Downhill and 4X which marks his as the best all round mountain bike racer in the world. If only there was a 'Combined' World Cup Title!

Roll on next year...I wonder what colour their kit will be??

Just found a 30min video about Maribor on freecaster, mainly about the Atherton's  Smiley

It's worth watching!
