[Closed] Rachel Atherton

Wow, 1972 called asking for their attitude to women back please.

Nice bike.

The interview's good too.

@crikey I don't get what you're getting at. Can someone not comment on a pretty girl in 2013?

bruises airbrushed out?, that girl must have some awesome scars!

[s]Chick[/s] Blokes dig scars.

What?
They allow girls to ride bikes now?

That's a disgrace. Someone should put a stop to it before they start getting ideas above their station.

Jesus wept.

Not in the way that you did, no. It's an article about her being a sportsperson, about her riding a bike, about the things she has achieved.

Not about how she looks.

I'm wasting my time, I know....

Nope, she definitely looks hot

She does look very attractive though. Saying that the older I get most women are looking attractive.

He bloody would if you turned up at his dinner party.

Give over ffs!

I thought the bit about struggling to sleep because of the pain, post car accident, was eyeopening to the effort and commitment put in...

Knuckle draggers of the world unite...

When ever I am in the company of a certain work colleague and we see a fetching young lady, one of us will turn to the other and say "out of ten"

To which the other will reply "I'd give it one"

Cracks me up every time,still.
Its more for comedic effect than anything else.
There's nothing Wrong with appreciating the female form, just try not to be Pervy about it.

Maybe the op has a thing for the above young lady based on her skills as much as her looks and felt the need to share it.

Or maybe he just thinks she's Hot.

Most people would be hot wearing a cardy on a nice day.

I hear she had also bathed ahead of the photo shoot. Terrible behaviour. She'll be drinking next.

I respect her as a sportswoman who has brought so much to the wold of cycling.
This is a cycling forum.
I'm sure most of you know who she is.
The interview is well written and explains to none cyclists who she is.
I think she looks very pretty in the photo.
Hence me comment "wow she looks hot".
Does anyone disagree?
The post was not meant to be sexist.

Self righteous idiot. I think Rachel knew exactly what she was doing and the OP has passed a reasonable comment. On the picture, not the article.

Not too many women would object to being called ' hot', which she is.
I may be a knuckle dragger but you sir, are a knuckle shuffler. Get over yourself!

I think Rachael's an awesome athlete, she also comes across as a nice and likeable person. I certainly respect her determination and wish I had a fraction of her talent.
I also think she's hot. I hope that this wouldn't upset her too much.

Ok crikey,
You like monkeys. Whatever floats your boat.
That one in your photo has its charms.
I prefer Rachel

She should be heralded much, much more widely. Why aren't the powers that be putting her on as pedestal as someon to aspire to for a youngsters baffles me tbh.

Her overuse of the word 'stoked' aside, she is ace.

Jamie, cover up man!

I thought this would be a great thread about how amazing Rachel Atherton is. Sadly by post 2 the party was spoilt. What a season for an incredible woman..

...who does look rather good in that pic. Dare I say hot or are the joy-police still watching?

Blimey, Gee has got big hands! Big gloves too I'd wager.

I hope someone warmed that top tube with a hair dryer before posing for that shot.

I would

not wear those boots for riding.

Rach is super hot and cool all at the same time!! 😆

Like the way she just "does DH" she doesn't pose naked on bikes, or pout at the lens or any of that crap that you see some female athletes do.

Just shown Gee to a mate, and the response was "nice but not that hot, trying a bit hard..."

"nice but not that hot, trying a bit hard..."

Surely if he was a bit hard his hand would be higher?

[wrestles laptop from mate drooling over fit blokes with cropped hair]

Don't know what you mean James 😆

She couldn't look less hot if she tried!! 😕

Not bad for a downhiller

I think Rachel is both a phenomenal athlete, and hot (though, weirdly, less so in that picture). But then I am also a tiny bit gay for Dan. So perhaps my obvious crass sexism balances out.

PS,

Also, insert your own helmet eating joke here.

that is a big helmet atherton has there

Yes

though she started an English literature course during her post-crash convalescence.

She is horrendous...

Pfft, I think you'll find it's actually a bolero......

😳

Ok, dude. We get it. You're not stoked for Ms Atherton.

More importantly, RA should be Sports Personality of the Year.
No-one ever broke a limb playing tennis

Wow, 1972 called asking for their attitude to women back please.

An almost 20 year old episode of Friends called, it wants its "joke" back.

Ok Sports Type Girls it's alright to have your photo taken but you must try not to look good! That would undermine your cred as a sports person.

Great roll model and seriously tough rider definitely.
Not sure I'd stretch to calling her hot though.

Now, Emily Batty on the other hand.......

She rode over a baby at MSA, how much hotter does it get?
