Tahnée Seagrave – Staying at the Top Ain’t Easy
About this episode
Tahnée Seagrave discusses her experiences in downhill racing, including injuries, recovery, and the evolution of women's racing.
This week I’m joined by Tahnée Seagrave. Tahnée has been one of the defining riders of modern downhill for more than a decade. A World Cup winner, a world championship medallist, and one of the riders who helped push the level of women’s racing to where it is today. But the last few seasons haven’t been straightforward. Injuries, recovery, rebuilding confidence, changing bike sponsor and trying to perform at the very top of the sport while the level of competition keeps rising. So in this episode we sat down to talk about everything from the realities of rehab and returning to racing, to bike development challenges, the growth of the women’s field, the next generation coming through, and what still motivates her after all these years at the top. There’s a lot in here, from the physical side of racing to the mental side of staying in the sport long term. So sit back, hit play and check out this episode with Tahnée Seagrave.
