Rach To Have Surgery On Injured Shoulder
Unfortunately Rach's latest EMG test has shown that the nerve in her shoulder has seen little improvement over the past four weeks and so the surgeon has taken the decision to operate.
Recovery time is expected to be around two to three months, so we're hoping she will be back in time for the World's.
Fans will still be able to see Rachel on the circuit as she'll be joining the Animal Commencal team in her temporary role as race commentator on the Nissan UCI World Cup Series for Freecaster.tv.
You can follow Rach's recovery via her new blog: www.animalcommencal.tv/rachel/blog
All three Athertons will be attending and participating in the first ever Bike Radar Live (29-31 May) at Donnington Park. Dan and Gee will both be contending in the MBUK Eliminator slalom, putting a fast lap in on the ProCycling hot lap competition and they may even give a guest appearance during the Animal bike show. Rach will also be there cheering on her brothers and enjoying the weekends events. To find out more check out the Bike Live site
