Looking at the timing of Vallnord's final run, a fact leaps to the eyes, Jackson Goldstone, the junior canadase of which we have published the home board of the training run (you can find it HERE), set the absolute best time; the British William Jordan was beaten by only Vergier and the third, Tegan Cruz, another Canadian achieved a top ten result.
What is happening?
This fact was highlighted by Bruno Zanchi during the ascent of the 4th stage of the 4enduro; speaking of how strong they are in the Cup, he pointed out that there are some juniors who seem to have an edge. These are his words: " Every 4 or 5 years comes that year in which there are some guys who are really strong, who seem ready for the Elite category, this seems like the right year".
Who are these Bad Boys of international descent?
Jackson Goldstone
He seems to have been a predestined of mountain biking from the first grade. The current Junior world champion had already risen to the fore thanks to a video that went viral, the Jackson Run Bike to Kindergarten, which featured a little Jackson throwing jumps, falls, spins and more on trails and the skate park on a balance bike on his way to school.
After that experience a few years passed and as soon as he was able to put on the helmet, put the number on the handlebar and started winning.
William Jordan
English already winner of 4 stages of the junior word cup including that of Fort William this season, a point of great pride for every British. By virtue of the theme, Saracen has a future ahead of him that promises to be very fast
Tegan Cruz
Canada is churning out an impressive array of young talent right now. Among these there is certainly also Tegan Cruz, a boy from Pemberton who followed his brother Lucas in this adventure.
"I love my city, everyone skis here on weekends and it's always nice to see someone you know riding a bike during the week " these are his words. A community for which sport is an important part of life, where it is not strange to see the principal of the school going to Crankworx to cheer on one of his students.
He started his BMX adventure and then moved on to dh, let's watch in this video from the Youth + glory series:
