Hutchinson United Ride at Val D Is re Wold Cup

Tracey crashed during a practice run at Val D'isere world cup and broke her femur and collarbone.


The race was not over for the team! Mick had a big crash during qualifying, but was protected for Sunday anyway. He spent Saturday with his sister to be sure she was doing ok and then hit the track hard on Sunday getting in 5 practice laps in before his race run. When the dust settled he earned 6th spot on the day. Guillaume also suffered a crash in qualifying and did not make the finals on Sunday.

Tracey is now doing well and she gets better everyday, she is already focused on 2013. Tracey is really happy with all the support that she gets .

new femur

It s gonna take more than that to keep me down - Tracey Hannah


Thanks to Keith Valentine for the first picture of Tracey.

 lucky to be alive Tracey. i broke both femurs @ the same time in a moto-x crash. my femoral artery was severed & i was bleeding to death internally. luckily, the vascular surgeon i had was the best. 10 + hours of intense surgery, i got to keep my leg & my life.

stay positive & do all your p.t. through the pain. good healing to you!

 Bummer!!!! I was hoping to see you at Crankworx in Whistler. That would be so much better then you have a broken femur.

Relax and let them take care of you. You'll be stronger, meaner, and faster then before. :-)

 Hope Traceys up and running again soon, major injury to come back from! 2 years ago I broke my neck in 2 places, then 4 months later broke my wrist in 5 and separated my shoulder, took me over a year of physio to get back to strength... mountain bikings a tough sport but there's none like it, don't ever give up Tracey if you read this!
