We had already seen it in the World Cup (read this article): the Williams and Goldstone juniors already have the pace of the best Elite and Jackson Goldstone demonstrated it at Red Bull Hardline putting behind athletes like Joe Smith, Taylor Vernon and Ronan Dunne (4th in the Cup at Snowhoe). You can see the replay of the race from the link below.

famac@famac.ind.br I am passionate about everything that has 2 wheels: in my youth I practiced competitive cycling on the road and on the track with good results. At the age of 18 I moved to cross country competing at national/international level as U23. Once I passed Elite, I made the choice to take things easier from the training point of view, and that's how my love for gravity disciplines was born, training as an FCI MTB instructor and guide. Now I have made my passion my profession by managing 3 MTB centers on the island of Elba (Elba MTB), creating the FANTAmtb and telling in an ironic but professional way, everything that revolves around MTB thanks to 365mountainbike and 365TV (YouTube 'PULITI dentro BIKER fuori').
