Rachel Atherton dominated the World Cup in 2012, with 5 victories and one second place. Going into 2013 it was clear to anyone who had hopes of taking her title that she would put up a tough fight.

 The dedication these ladies put in to the sport is phenomenal; great to see Britain is producing such world class talent!!

I bet if I were to meet Rachel Atherton in person, I would be completely tongue tied in honour of her wonderous capacity to shred Big Grin

 I know I should be all about Tracey and the Aussie girls but I'm a secret rachel supporter. That girl is amazing.

As much as I like a hot girl on a bike we need to stop with the "hot" comments these girls are killing it on bikes it sort or cheapens the sport when we focus on thier looks.

 Thanks slidways.....nicely said and agree on all counts. It borders on creepy as well. I would kill to ride half as well any of these athletes. So looking forward to world cup and to think it is coming to Oz! Wooo whooo!

 If you ever watch Rugby with 'ladies' you will see they're often much worse than we are. I think Rachel is good looking, don't get me wrong, but I believe a lot of her appeal comes from being so focussed and highly talented. She obviously loves outdoor life and enjoys the adventure which a lot of people will admire, myself included. She's a class act.

 Yeah people should say more about that and her awesome personality rather than "she's hot" haha.

 These girls shred, and deserve the same level of respect for their talent as the men. Looking forward to this season, with Tracey back from injury, and a lot of the field left hungry for a win from last year, I anticipate some feircely contested podiums!
