Australian rider Tayla Relph, 29, continues competing in the women-only WorldWCR championship. After a 2019 flare-up of Crohn's disease forced surgery and a career pause, she has returned to racing while maintaining remission. Her husband Ted Collins serves as her crew chief.

I've watched plenty of riders push through pain, and Relph is the real deal — surgery back in 2019, and she's still on the WorldWCR grid at 29. Her husband Ted running the pit box as crew chief deserves credit, but honestly, leaning that hard on one person long-term makes me wonder if it holds up.

Over six years since that 2019 surgery — long road back.

Didn't know what Crohn's disease was until this, learned something.

Having her husband as crew chief makes me wonder if emergency calls get delayed.

Being family might actually mean he's more willing to pull her off track.

Framing a comeback with Crohn's as pure inspiration feels risky — push too hard and it backfires.

Still, staying in remission while racing is genuinely impressive.
