Dan and Gee meet their fans in the flavellas (Red Bull)
The 12th and final instalment of this year’s Atherton
Project, a fly-on-the-wall documentary following Gee, Dan and Rachel Atherton,
is now available to watch.
There’s no more World Cup riding but Gee and Dan head to Brazil to race in the Desafio no Morro downtown event
in the favelas of Rio. During a pre-race
walk of the course, Gee says: “We’ve basically… walked down FortWilliam,
but into… the hood surrounded by dogs and cats.” During practice, he says: “It’s like jumping into City of
God on my bike!”
In the downtown finals, Dan crashes but still manages third
place, while Gee is left reeling after a flat tyre mid-race. The Athertons then return home to North
Wales to ride their local trails and tracks, and bow out of
episode 12 with an epic quarry session.
