Gracey has been racing bikes for over half her life, and her rise in the elite downhill scene is impossible to ignore.
After placing fourth at World Champs, she made history as the first Canadian woman to podium at Mont-Sainte-Anne with a second-place finish—proving she’s here to stay. Her breakout 2024 season built serious momentum, but 2025 has been a game-changer: with two World Cup wins under her belt, she’s now the first Canadian woman to go back-to-back on the top step. Fully locked in with the Norco Race Division, Gracey has found a new level of confidence and focus—powered by the energy of her teammates and her unshakeable drive.
