Rachel Atherton update...


A quick bit of good news from the guys at Pearce Cycles following Rach Atherton's crash on Sunday.

She had a hell of a crash during Sunday's National Champs practice but has luckily escaped with severe bruising and no major damage. She'll no doubt be hobbling around for a while but should be back in action soon enough.

She crashed through one of the berms in the top wooded section and wrapped herself round a tree. After some drugs and a trip to the local A&E she was able to pop back to the race and join fellow World Champs Gee and Josh on the podium.

As ever, a massive shout out to the medics and the Air Ambulance who always do a bloody good job of sorting us all out when we need it. If you ever feel like making a donation to the North Wales Air Ambulance you can do it here. Definitely a worthy cause.

Good news and a speedy recovery to her. We'll pop up any more news as we get it.
