From dreams to reality – Charlie Hatton's extraordinary rise to the top of Downhill MTB Racing

Charlie Hatton looking at his new rainbow jersey

The newly-crowned UCI Downhill MTB World Champion Charlie Hatton produced the ride of his life to take the rainbow jersey on the legendary Fort William downhill track just a few weeks ago. Having never finished higher than seventh place in World Cup events the Atherton Racing rider from the Forest of Dean feels he's almost skipped a few steps in his downhill mountain bike racing career.

With the dust settled Hatton has had time to take in his momentous achievement and he recently caught up with the Atherton Racing kit manufacturers and makers of his brand new rainbow jersey at Endura for a chat about his Worlds win, and his plans for the rest of the season.
