She recently changed her focus from Downhill to the new Enduro race division, which consists of multiple timed stages throughout a day. After years of dominating the downhill mountain biking scene, it’s no surprise that Tracy is conquering this new genre as well.

Consisting of timed downhill stages  and untimed transition stages, Enduro has been called “real mountain biking.” Much like the kind of day most riders have with friends, Enduro tries to capture the essence of the sport.

2013 was the first year of a World Series for Enduro, and Tracy won the overall World Championship Title, with first place finishes and two second place finishes. With still one more race to go, Tracy has already clinched the title.
