The British "Atherton Racing" team chose the trails of Serra da Lousã to test their new bikes, also taking the opportunity to try out other new equipment.

Rachel Atherton, current downhill world champion, and her brothers Gee and Dan, along with young Taylor Vernon, were some of the world-renowned athletes who gathered in Serra da Lousã.

Francisco Pardal was the local host and, with the collaboration of the Montanha Club, prepared everything for a warm welcome to Portugal.

Once again, the work that has been developed is recognised by this sport’s global elite.
