FROM INSIDE
TAHLIA O’HARE
WEST AUSTRALIAN TAHLIA O’Hare (TJ) jetted to Europe in February last year with her sights set on Women’s Motocross Championship glory. Riding for KTM Diga Junior Racing she finished eighth in the Women’s EMX championship and twenty-second in the WMX title after her season was cut short due to an arm injury sustained at the MXGP of Czech Republic.
Full recovered and ready to race, TJ is now stuck at her European base in Belgium while the world battles the pandemic.
ADB: How has the current coronavirus situation affected you?
TJ: It’s pretty crazy times at the moment! I have stayed in Europe as we didn’t know how the situation would play out and I wasn’t sure how it would affect me if the races started back and the borders stayed closed to non-European citizens. Belgium is in lockdown so that means no riding but I am still able to do all my gym work as I have enough equipment at my apartment.
How do you keep yourself busy?
It’s been tough to find enough stuff to keep me entertained as I’m not one to sit around for long. I’ve been doing a lot of cooking and I just got a PlayStation so I can get my motos in! I’ve been studying online this year
