Atherton & Beerten win initial 4X World Cup

British rider Gee Atherton (Animal Commencal) made the most of his rivals' misfortune to take an impressive victory in the men's 4X final. Atherton was able to stay upright while his competitors crashed in front of 20,000 spectators. His win gave his siblings something to celebrate after sister Rachel Atherton broke her arm during a downhill practice run.
