Fort William BDS: Rachel Atherton Practice Run – Video

May 12, 2017 at 11:33
by Red Bull Bike  

First run and Rachel already looks fast. Judging by the fact that it looks like she's running Bontrager tires, and we understand that they haven't got a DH ready 29er tire ready yet, it appears that Rachel is still on the same 27.5" shoed bike that she rode to victory at the Lourdes World Cup.

 Whilst Gee is riding a 29er, Rach is on her current 650b rig. The Commencal Team are all onboard 29er rigs. Danny Hart reckons his new big rig is 8-10 seconds faster. Will we see Rach beaten by Myriam Nicole? Will that be a fair playing field? Live practice times all day tomorrow:
