Nukeproof and Leatt rider Tahnee Seagrave wins first race of the year


Tahnee Seagrave just won the Morgins snow race. Here's what she had to say...

Pretty insane really. Was not sure what to expect - we have been struggling against the snow here recently as it has not snowed in ages and just been raining.
The drive over to Morgins was like it was April so I got really excited and stoked to ride.

The first race was a mass start quickest down the mountain. I finished first out of the girls and about middle of the pack with the boys so not bad really.

I was not really prepared for the race so after the first one, my 5.10's were soaking wet but I had only brought a new pair of socks.

The next race were eliminator races on a hard packed piste. By the time it came round to the women's race I was freezing!

Seeing so many of the boys stack it in the first corner, I decided to take it easy - but it was so much fun and you could get to great speeds I just took off!

So with a 1st in both races, I took home some great prize money and a huge slab of cheese!!

Thanks Morgins for a well-organised event.
