Tahnée Seagrave became one of downhill’s most exciting talents back in 2013. Not only did she win the Junior World Champs, but she also started making waves in the elite category, finishing the season in the top 10 at just 18 years old.
It all began for the French-raised rider when her parents moved to Morzine when she was just eight years old. Influenced by the pro riders staying at her parents’ chalet, Tahnée picked up a downhill bike and never looked back.
2016 saw Tahnée continue to make her mark on the downhill scene, finishing the World Cup season in fourth and coming fifth at the World Championships.
Now living in Wales, Tahnée has pushed herself to the very top of echelons of her sport. She narrowly missed out on the overall World Cup to Myriam Nicole in 2017 and to Rachel Atherton in 2018. She also placed second at the World Championships in 2018, again behind only the seemingly unstoppable Atherton.
