Video: The Athertons & Marc Beaumont ride Italy’s Alpi Bike Resort

So, you’re one of the world’s top riders and you fancy a bit of a break from racing. What do you do? Head to a spa for some pampering? Hit the pub with some mates? Put your feet up in front of the TV? Not the GT Factory Racing crew.

After the Val d’Isere World Cup they headed over the Alps to Alpi Bike Resort in Northern Italy for even more flat-out MTB action. While Dan Atherton hit the rolling singletrack, enduro style, brother Gee, sister Rachel and teammate Marc Beaumont checked out the area’s downhill runs.
