Canadian Mountain Biker Goldstone Defends Elite Men’s Downhill World Title
Jackson Goldstone won by 0.695 seconds as New Zealand’s Lachlan Stevens-McNab finished second.
On Saturday, Canadian mountain biker Jackson Goldstone successfully defended his UCI elite men's world championship title, finishing the course in three minutes 28.785 seconds.
Goldstone earned his first elite world title last year in Champery, Switzerland, establishing himself as a dominant force in downhill racing.
Representing Trinidad and Tobago, 19-year-old Tyriq Springer made history Friday as the first rider from the Caribbean to compete in the UCI Mountain Bike World Championships in Val Di Sole, Italy.
Springer finished 83rd in the Men Elite Individual Qualification, completing the 2.230-kilometre course in four minutes, 48.545 seconds, placing him three positions outside the qualification cut-off.
From the hills of Paramin, Springer has become a pioneer for Trinidad and Tobago, as his appearance opens an avenue for other Caribbean riders to follow.
