Nerve-shredding scenes as daredevil British mountain biker takes on Italy mountains
Jaw-dropping images show a daredevil British mountain biker taking on Italy mountains. Gee Atherton's latest challenge saw him riding tough terrain in the Dolomites, a range in northeastern Italy. The double World Champion is seen perilously close to steep drops in this behind-the-scenes look at the new installment of his Ridgeline Series video. Filming took place this August, where access to Dolomites riding spots involved four-hour hikes, roped climbs, ladders and abseils. The team was burdened with camera equipment, drones, food supplies and Gee's bike, broken down to frame, bars and wheels to share the load. A spokesperson says: "It was physically and mentally the most demanding week of the series so far, where a sense of adventure and genuine concern for their survival drove the team onwards in search of some of the most incredible scenes they have ever filmed." Gee Atherton adds: "Since the first hour of the first build for the original Ridgeline film, it's been the dream to take this concept to the most amazing places around the world. "The potential to find awesome, remote mountain ranges where we can test ourselves to the limit, to really explore what's possible on a bike and how to film the most stunning footage, it's been like a running commentary throughout the entire project."

Sadiq Khan accuses ‘dithering’ Sunak of backtracking on climate commitments
Sadiq Khan took aim at Rishi Sunak for “dithering” on climate action as the prime minister announced changes to net zero policy. The Mayor of London spoke at the UN climate summit in New York on Wednesday 20 September after the prime minister held a press conference back home. “The situation that confronts us today is grave, it’s nothing short of self-harm on a planetary scale,” Mr Khan said. “It’s easy to get angry at the delay and dither from some quarters and I know businesses and millions of people feel let down by news from my own country, that our prime minister is now backtracking on the UK’s climate commitments.”
