Tracey Hannah is a 9x Australian National DH champ. She earned a set of rainbow stripes competing as a junior and currently races for the Polygon team along with her brother Mick Hannah. In between winning a World Championship in the junior ranks and racing for Polygon, Hannah took a 5-year hiatus. At the time, it was difficult for women to receive the same level of sponsorship. In recent years, she’s suffered two broken collarbones, a broken femur, and several other injuries. Despite the accidents and the sponsorship challenges, she still loves riding and competing.
