Just watched the "Dan Atherton rides the GT Sanction" video on pinkbike. Probably going to get a deluged of abuse for this but it almost seems like he's taken a step back by taking up Enduro over DH?
I understand Enduro takes a huge amount of skill and is very good for sponsors and bike manufacturers as it is maybe more accessible than DH. But maybe would of liked to of seem him dedicate one more season to DH. It might be a massive generalisation but I sometimes think Enduro portrays the image of a discipline for the retired DH'er, Brian Lopes, Nicolas Vouilloz and Fabian Barel to name a few.
However it should be said he does look very fast in this video, and would'nt be surprised if he smoked everyone in Enduro this year.
