News in from the States, Rachel Atherton has sustained a dislocated shoulder yesterday when she was involved in a accident with a car. The Atherton trio have been training hard in Santa Cruz, California since the start of January and yesterday was no exception. Details are sketchy but it seems Rachel hit the car head on with her brand new Cervelo road bike taking the brunt of the damage. Rach has an appointment with the specialist today and hopes to be up and ready for the first round of the World Cup in April. www.athertonracing.co.uk
