One of the biggest pre-season WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series news stories has been the injury sustained by the Santa Cruz Syndicate’s Jackson Goldstone to his knee at Red Bull Hardline. For the first time, he has gone public about the extent of the injury admitting at the end of the first episode of his team’s new video series that he has torn both ACL and MCL ligaments on his left knee. 

The Canadian wrote his way into the history books becoming a two-time Elite winner in his first senior season last time out. Now, with round one of 2024 in Fort William only weeks away, the atmosphere is very different.  

With a second place to his name as a Junior in 2022 in the Scottish Highlands, Goldstone will have been hoping to get his season off to winning ways given the strength of his performances towards the end of the last campaign. Tickets for the opening round of the UCI Downhill World Cup in Fort William 03-05 May are on sale now.
