The Athertons love to produce some viral POV video action for us to enjoy, and this time its Gee who is getting our pulses racing.

Gee Atherton returned to the 2016 Redbull Foxhunt in the hope to hunt down all 400 riders as they tore down Sileve Martin, he almost managed it too.

Video footage from the race shows speeds in excess of 58km/h (so even an Ebike wouldn’t have helped) as he chased riders.

Determined to beat is 2015 position of 32nd, Athy managed to pick off 399 riders one by one but wasn’t quite fast enough to catch Colin Ross who came 1st with 30 seconds to spare.

The Ulster based rider will be joining Gee in as “Fox No.2” for the 2017 Foxhunt. If you cannot see the video below click here.
