It's been 4 years since Tracey Hannah has competed in the World Cup series do to funding and politics, but now she's back and racing and winning in the Aussie National Series, with plans to race World Cups again. Jill Kintner talks to her about what she's been doing, and she tells us about riding moto and explains that she's training for World's, her dad is coaching her, and she has a trainer as well.

It also sounds like there will be some news coming this week about sponsors etc. Keep your eyes and ears open, we'll post it when we find out!

You can stay in touch with Tracey and keep up with what she's doing through her facebook page and also her website, www.traceyhannahracing.com


*Pinkbike last talked to Tracey in 2007 about her decision to not race World Cups in the 2008. You can read that interview here

 That interview did not make me stoked:-( I think next time Jill interviews Tracy, she should be on angel dust to perk her up a bit

 Sounds like a good idea except what happens if Jill asks Tracey the wrong question and she starts raging from the pcp? xD

 Us Aussies are pretty laid back a lot of the time. Besides, she hasn't got much to say until the official announcement that both her and her brother are on Morewood this year!

 oh I know how laid back you can be. that's awesome. actually I think that's one of the reasons I always seem to get along well with Aussies. seemed like maybe the interview could have waited for announcements. looks like they had a lot of things working against them putting the interview together.

 I think you do need to keep in mind that it's her closest competitor interviewing her, might not want to give everything away....

 Jill Kintner is not her closest competitor. I'm sure Tracey will do great this year, but wait 'till she meets the other Tracey, Rachel, Emmeline. That is competition.

 I was speaking about competition in Australia right now, and in the Aussie series Jill is her only real competition as far as i can tell. I also wouldn't put Jill out of contention with the other girls when it comes World Cup time. She had a pretty solid first season racing downhill on the circuit...

 I think till her announcement she has to be tight lipped about the future.

 Last race on the GT !!!???


Wonder what her and Sick Mick have planned??
I'm leaning towards Intense, but I have no foundation for that.

Predictions anyone ?

 Maybe Santacruz? They need a good chick on their team to match it with the guys!!! (although could be morewood - I hear a custom pink bike has been made for a secret someone??!!!)
Or Commencal??? That would be kinda weird if they lose family Atherton, but pick up family Hannah?

 Tracey "will" kick ass this year if given the right support as she has more talent in her little finger than half the top women riders out there

 It's Morewood for Tracey and Sic Mic. GT dumped Mic and signed the Athertons. Hope the Hannahs kick arse this year!
