We’ve just heard that Animal Commencal rider Rachel Atherton is back at home after successful surgery on her injured shoulder.

Rachel, the current female Downhill World Champion, is recovering well after the operation and is already itching to get back into training.

Rach said: “I’m so stoked – I can’t believe how well I felt even the next morning – the surgeon has worked wonders. I’d like to thank everyone for their messages of support and hope to be back action as soon as possible.”

    Thank god, She might not feel the need to commentate on world cup rounds on Freecaster again if she’s on her bike. Stick to what you’re good at Rach.

    Oh, and get well soon!
