Known across the world of mountain biking as Gee, the middle Atherton sibling has been a sensation in the sport since the age of 15.
In 2004, at the age of 19, Gee won his first Downhill World Cup on the technically challenging track in the Austrian resort of Schladming. A win at this level may have seemed inevitable after his results in the junior categories, including two World Championship medals, but to gain it at such a young age was outstanding.
