Athertons claim Austria honours

Briton Rachel Atherton maintained her winning 2008 form with victory in the women's downhill at the Mountain Bike World Cup event in Austria.

And it proved a family affair as brothers Dan and Gee were placed in other races in Schladming.

World champion Rachel, from Oswestry, Shropshire, won by more than 10 seconds from French rider Floriane Pugin, with Britain's Tracey Moseley in fourth.

Dan was second in the 4X while Gee took third in the men's downhill.
