Gee Atherton will return to World Cup downhill racing in Pal Arinsal, Andorra

Gee Atherton at Red Bull Hardline

After racing his last World Cup back in 2021, Gee Atherton is now the latest Atherton sibling to make a comeback after sister Rachel Atherton made a fairytale-winning return in Lenzerheide in June. Rachel also raced in Leogang before she unfortunately crashed out of the World Championships in Fort William with a broken collar bone.

Gee has been seen out on the course walk with the Continental Atherton riders Charlie Hatton and Andreas Kolb who took gold and silver in the Fort William World Championships. Hatton will have the opportunity to wear the World Champion's rainbow jersey for the first time in Andorra, after Atherton kit maker Endura unveiled his new kit this week. Having been spotted paying extra attention to the line choices of the Atherton dream team duo, Gee revealed in an Instagram post that he will be inside the tapes in Andorra saying he, "is taking a couple of chilled laps this weekend". Although, with a Timed Training run coming in 46th place, it's pretty good considering the length of time he's been away.
