Nice one Giorgio 👍. My legs started hurting watching that😂 I loved that course and the conditions, right up my street! I'm going to get my legs ripped off at the Matterley basin for sure, not my kinda course. Well done on your step up to expert👊
A great start to riding expert! A great start to my week and month, a new Giorgio Coppola video! Only a clip with The Rocket in it would make it better!😊
Awesome Video G. Thanks for sharing. We had the slop early in the morning. Wasn't that great to be honest. Can i ask which handlebar mount you are using for your GoPro? I am dubious about fitting one vs being mounted on the chest. Cheers A.
Thanks 🙌 after my practice lap in the morning I thought it was going to be hell but we definitely got lucky with it drying out! My GoPro mount is a bit unconventional as I have Syncross handlebars… it’s basically a k edge garmin mount, I have then taken the garmin part out and screwed a GoPro mount in 😂 All honesty I would probably rather fit one to my chest as the footage would be better but British cycling only allow cameras mounted to the bike
Getting stuck behind the rider in blue stuffed your race, no way were you getting back on the faster wheels when that gap opened up.. so wheel sucking the fast boys wasn't an option, that's what you needed to do, next time chop your slower riders out of the way.. they are just cannon fodder ... haha, but I think that's the vital moment, they steamed off and you were on a slower wheel. The guys in front might have been doing 20mph and you should have been hanging on the wheels but behind the wrong rider, couldn't be helped in that section where they went unless you chopped the bloke in front and your hr was maxing at times... can't go any faster than your max effort. Great performance, possibly got podium but for circumstance rather than lack of trying. Top racing mate, another great vid as well 😎
Yeah I really needed to go with them up the steep kicker before the single track but I let the wheel go before that and then also didn’t get much grip up the climb… it cost me and also I hesitated after the singletrack I should have just committed and tried to bridge back over 👎 but it’s a good learning curve 👌
After this, pizza curry and all the takeaways are in order.
You guys are all evenly matched
😂 of course 👌
Great video Giorgio. Can't believe how much that course has dried since the morning!👍
Not sure if it had dried or all the morning riders took the mud home with them on there bike 😂
Wow, strong entrance in the category ! Great footage and commentry 👍
Thanks Pierre 🙌 hungry for more now!
That’s great coming 4 well done x
Thank you 🙌
Once again, great job on 4th mate! Well done! Trust the process!
Thanks mate 🙌
well done stepping up and with the result, great race footage, go Georgio on the A line! top stuff
🙌 and thankfully it was the easiest a line ever but I will take it 😂

I could feel the pain watching it back too and I’m the same at Matterley! I really don’t like the long drags 😂
Amazing commentary!! Great content dude!
Thank you appreciate it 🙌
Great race footage. Course looked fun. 4th place for first expert race is fantastic. Well done. Love seeing your races.
Yeah good fun course apart from the long grass drag 😅 but can’t de disappointed with 4th on my first outing 👌
A great start to riding expert! A great start to my week and month, a new Giorgio Coppola video! Only a clip with The Rocket in it would make it better!😊
🙌 and I will try and get the rocket to join me on commentary next time 😂
Well deserved George, 4th place in your first expert cat is a great result, plan is coming together
Thanks 🙌 hopefully I can get a bit closer to the podium next race 🤞
Can we get the Rocket mic'd up for these from now on please? The sniggers and giggles would be very much welcome 😂
If I could afford her appearance fee I would but she’s not cheap 😜😂
🤣

Great racing and you are going to improve so things are looking good Giorgio 😊👏👍🥐🥐🥐🥐
I do hope so, just need to adjust to the step up which I’m sure I will after a few more races 👌🥐
