UCI Downhill World Cup Fort William – Saturday Practice
A busy gondola station means fans both young and old can have a chat with the stars of the weekend.Gee Atherton cranking hard out of the start hut for a practice run

Yet again the weather has not disappointed. The long gondola ride gives the chance to rest and cool off.
With such a large number of fans turning up to watch the racing, the lift system is constantly saturated with people. Dare 2b put on a trials next to the gondola station to keep boredom levels in the queue as low as possible.
