Continental Atherton Race Team | GMBN Tech Pro Truck Tour

With two Elite wins in the first two ‪@uci_mtbworldseries‬ DHI Downhill World Cups, it's clear that there's something good going on in the Continental Atherton Race Team! Rachel Atherton making a winning comeback at Round 1 in Lenzerheide before Andreas Kolb took an emotional home win in Round 2 at Leogang has really put the team on the map for 2023.
Rich caught up with the team in the build-up to the first round of the season to take a look around their new pits, see what it takes to keep some of the fastest DH riders in the world ready to race, and find out how cold ice baths really are...

Interesting tour, love their ‘on the road’ lifestyle. Good to see Atherton very open re their bikes and riders especially when some other teams are rather precious about their bikes and facilities being seen by the public/competitors.

[@gaddobronx6740]

Love those team truck tours. It's interesting how they set up. Especially when you go to the pit area and showing all the parts bin. When you opened up that parts drawer for the shocks...my jaw dropped. Did you already do canyon or specialized team yet?

[@julianw5692]

That draw is probably worth more than most people's bikes. Even fairly high-end ones

[@AmvC]

6:40 what a lovely advertisment for the Center-Lock System 😂 Thanks Continental 🧡

[@Cb1517]

Great truck tour, I like these behind the scenes vids. 👍👍

[@svdk1506]

Great video.

[@razmtb5028]

awesome!

[@WaechterDerNacht]

I guess everyone knows the fox suspension pits. How about Rockshox? Do they have a service pit for riders? What does that look like?

[@Rustyfox46]

Athertons are amazing. All that behind the scenes 👊🏻

[@beyondthegatetv567]

More truck tours

[@prithviraj2354]

[@cobykluth1878]

Atherton owns gmbn

[@user-pp5or5og4k]

Yup, never understood GMBN's obsession.

[@lamefart]

Shimano's center lock rotors wouldn't take 20 seconds.. 😆

[@markwilliams5654]

Easiest job in a world a bike mechanic 😊😊😅😮

[@markwilliams5654]

Cheap hand tools and who uses air tools in 2023 lol bike mechanics are useless failed car mechanics lol😊

[@richardhaselwood9478]

Unior tools are cheap?? And what pray tell is wrong with pneumatic tools??

[@lamefart]

Worst take I've read these month. Pretty sure til the end of July. Quite obtuse, you are.
