Around 3,000 people descended upon Dinas Mawddwy at the weekend to watch the sixth Red Bull Hardline downhill mountain bike event.

Spectators saw Gee Atherton who, with siblings Dan and Rachel, owns Dyfi Bike Park, take second place.

Gee, who is pictured, left, with winner Bernard Kerr and third-placed Joe Smith, said: “I’m pleased with second. It was so hard out there today and difficult just to stay upright. Gutted to not retain my title, but at the same time stoked for Bernard. He deserves it.”
