Tahnée Seagrave is on the podcast! In this episode of The Ride Companion, Tahnée Seagrave reflects on the highs and lows of her career, from five years of injuries and nearly stepping away from racing to rediscovering her love for the sport. She opens up about the mental challenges of recovery, the impact of concussions and burnout, and how self-talk and mindset shifts helped her return to the top. We also discuss some of the big talking points in downhill racing, including the Speedsuit that debuted in Fort William, the fairness of protected rider status, and whether the new UCI points system is helping women’s MTB. Tahnée also talks about FMD becoming a factory team, the state of women’s downhill, whether junior riders are getting enough time to develop and much more...
