The World Cup season gets into full flow in a couple of weeks down in South Africa and the Atherton team are undergoing final preparations. All except Rachel that is, who is still recuperating after sustaining nerve damage in her shoulder following her coming together with a truck during winter training in California.
Despite visiting several specialists, there seems to be no real indication of how long it'll take to fully recover, so it seems to be a case of wait and see.
There was better news recently for Gee however, with his first win of the season in Portugal at the Maxxis Cup in Gouveia.
The team are rumoured to be working on a video project and of course, their lips are sealed on any actual information. They have released this impressively slick trailer however, which gives some idea of what might be in store.
