Gee Atherton won the 1st roud of the Maxxis Cup International, which took place today at Gouveia - Portugal; repeating last years result, he took the fastest time in both runs.

Didn't realise they were running continentals this year.
Good stuff on the win though

As of yet they do not have a tyre or pedal sponsor (unless they got one since 2 weeks ago) its in the Dirt vid from Icebike, they apparently will get one though!

Didn't realise they were running continentals this year.

As far as I know they don't have a tyre sponsor ( they were using Maxxis in the US with the logos blacked out ). So they are probably going to run what is best for the track?

Or then again maybe they have just been signed by Conti? ( as it is part of the Madison family of brands )

Downhillers will run whatever tyres they think are the best for the track, which isn't always who they're sponsered by
