Ollie Davis Joins the Santa Cruz Syndicate to Fill In for the Injured Jackson Goldstone
Despite recently moving from the Union to Commencal Schwalbe for the 2024 season, Austrailian rider Ollie Davis has joined the Santa Cruz Syndicate, filling in for the injured Jackson Goldstone for the year. After a junior career hampered by injury, Davis found his rhythm during his first year in elite and scored some notable results, including a ninth in Loudonville and an 11th in Andorra.
 | We are stoked to welcome Ollie Davis onto the team. Unfortunately, Jackie’s injury means he will be out a little longer than first anticipated and this opened up room for a little (big) Ol. Former Union rider, and all-round-good-egg, we reckon he is a great fit. Massive thanks to Commencal Schwalbe for making it happen. |

What a call up lol. MTB's equivalent of Bearman replacing Sainz at Ferrari a month or so back. Stoked for him to give it hell.

Wondering if Commencal Schwalbe received a transfer payment or some other form of compensation. Max happy / not happy?

They get compensated by the money saved with one less rider to port around with a shrinking marketing budget

feels like Max had the final say to let him out of the contract, so he's probably happy. Great to see this and good work from all parties.

I’m sure Max will call in the favor at some point.
