    About this Video
    Episode 8 of The Atherton Project Season 2 kicks off with Gee heading for the British Championships in Scotland, where he finds it tough going without the injured Rachel and Dan to spur him on. Then it’s on to Round Four of the UCI World Cup in Champery, Switzerland. With his siblings still at home, Gee takes on the highly technical and challenging course alone. After the lightning-quick qualifiers on a dusty track, some serious rain sets in and turns the course to treacle. With Gee neck and neck with Greg Minnaar in the overall UCI World Cup Downhill standings, a win is vital for his chances of glory. Can he beat the mud and bring the points home?
