Join Gee Atherton in the full MTB downhill race preview from Mont Sainte-Anne in Canada, home of one of the most spectacular UCI MTB World Cup stops of the season. This year's edition marks the 26th time that the World Cup has been held at Mont-Sainte-Anne. Last time out there was success for America’s Aaron Gwin and Great Britain’s Tahnée Seagrave in the downhill races.
Gee is a complete beast. Rides this stuff at race speed and narrates as well! I’m still missing Claudio, but previews like this really give you a perspective on what it takes to hit this type of thing at pro level. They’re pros for a reason!
@neimbc: Claudio is entertaining for sure but I was also liking Gee's professional style on it. And yeah, what a machine to be talking calmly as he does it!
@neimbc: agreed. I think Gee has a future in course previews. Between this and Cathrovision we're being treated to much better quality insights into world cup DH races. Long may it continue.
This is the first of Gee's course previews that I've watched and it was damn impressive.
Plus I think I heard him say more words during this preview than I'd heard from him in all his other interviews added up together.
Yep loving Gee's previews - hope they become a regular fixture. And awesome to see him qualify in the top 10 this week - getting on better with the 29er again
I like the camera on the forks because it really shows the height of the rocks and drops. Gee’s so casual it’s crazy. Sub 5 mins while talking all the way down with a section he hit blind! Impressive.
He's the James Bond of course previews. Just having a casual conversation while all hell is breaking loose. Shaken not stirred bitches. I hope he becomes the go-to for this, everyone knows the Brits are tops when it comes to voice-over/narration.
Sounds like Joelukens00 is trolling tbh, but for anyone who might believe the junk he's saying here are some of Gee's major wins:
GBR DH National Champion (1 Wins) European Union EUR DH European Champion (1 Wins) UCI DH World Champion (2 Wins) UCI DH World Cup (5 Wins) UCI 4X World Cup (1 Wins) KFC World Campionships (1 Wins)
I've been doing this a long time and I'm still amazed at how fast these guys can ride. My goPro footage looks so lame because my sped doesn't look anything like Gee's speed.....I should just quit now.....anyone want to buy a used DH bike...gently ridden.
Gee should think about moving to EWS and him and Hill just destroy everyone. The way he handles himself on the gnar and continue to be able to talk is incredible.
Echo brilliant video / display of skill and fitness! More please! BTW, what shoes are those he wears please.. I notice from the pics you can set the cleats way way back...... I would like that... a lot... cheers!!
seems like his crash was lots worse than anyone has chosen to make light of publicly (unless I've missed any official statements)... musta been pretty severe
@tbell1979: He hit his head pretty good and had some swelling of the brain which required surgery. He talked about it on the first broadcast that he was back on the air.
So much fun to ride
Super-tech berm to rock gap
