Rachel Atherton Bike Accident.

Baffles me how a world champ wouldn't wear a helmet. I can understand the the wrong side of the road though, done it a few times myself.

World champ tour de france riders go without helemts all the time (or used to, last I watched it) and they'll be going a hell of a lot faster than Rachel would have been.

Yeah but that doesn't mean it's not completely stupid.

I think it's stupid having music on too. Being able to hear while on the road, whether it's a car, bike or push bike is extremely important i think.

Yes but TdF competitors don't normally have to face pickup trucks on their descents...

Hope she is ok. If I was Gee or Dan I would of been totally freeked out by that. Get well soon Rachel.

Yea I've seen my sister seconds after a pretty big motorbike crash, and I will admit, I just sat down did f**k all and just balled me eyes out like a lil baby! I just thought she's dead, she was about 30 metres away from the car that pulled out in front of her and her bike had no fairing's on just a metal mash, i was shocked to shit.

Shes f**king hardcore though, kudos for that

She doesn't look that bad though, kinda like a really fit gf that youv'e just knocked arround a lil bit (I assume)
