Side Quest is Bugged on Version 1.020

Patching the game to the 1.020 Update causes a bug that prevents players from advancing the Can't Stop, Won't Stop Side Quest. This bug specifically affects the G-Bike Minigame, where players need to reach the highest score to progress. Unfortunately, due to the bug, scores wouldn't be recorded, preventing you from advancing further.
