Nice one Giorgio great result, I was cooked by the end and thats with one less lap than you guys! Not a great race for me, I never seem to fair very well at Matterley. Those ackward corners with those roots were a right pain, I honestly dont think there was a good line through them. See you at next one🎉. Hopefully the next Gorrick will be ok after all this rain🤞
I was cooked too it’s a brutal course that’s for sure, not a lot of rest! Agreed on the corners I just couldn’t get round the roots 😂 fingers crossed the weather picks up ready for next weekend!
The attack into the single track was actually a good idea but you should have used it as recovery on the single track as there is nowhere to pass, then jump on a wheel once you're back out onto the wider track.
So far so good, I’m not sure I have pushed them to the limit yet but hopefully that will come. Going from a 2.2 to a 2.4 has definitely given me more confidence and I feel like I am hitting corners with more speed than I did last year 👌 but still a lot to work on 😅
really nice content, enjoying your videos. Work on your breathing. You are pushing a lot in zone 4 with that heart rate and pushing your limits after 1 lap. Research breathing exercises. But if you ask me I would do this one. 45 minutes laying down on your back, put your hands on your diaphragm with no pressure, inhale 5-7 seconds, exhale 3-5 seconds. That exercise works on your muscle memory to have a stronger inhale and is expanding your lungs. If I didn't do it with my progress I wouldn't be able to climb the local hills at all.... Hope you find my comment helpful and looking forward seeing new content. Cheers!
Kishan - thats got to be the new signature move for anyone overtaking Giorgio from now on - absolute class 🙂
That will be the only time he overtakes me this year 👀😂
I wasn’t only talking about Krish 😏 I think this could be a signature overtaking move the “Rocket Chop”
Always improving.
What’s most ironic is the last 3 you’ve properly called out your own shortcomings. You make changes, and get better. Good job
🙌

I think just being in front of the elite boys I felt pressure to keep pushing on but I definitely paid for it 😅
great racing, result and commentary GC...Kishan stole it though with that overtaking move :) gotta love a good XC race, cheers
Haha next time kishan does it I might just have to stick the elbow on him to slow him down 😂
@@GiorgioCoppolaCycling proper chopper move :)
Thanks mate that was entertaining! Inspires me to get into training! From an old xc racer in Brisbane Australia
Love it! I’m glad it’s inspired you 🙌
😂The narration is quite enjoyable. The will to stay on Will's wheel kept you going🤣
The thought of riding into the headwind not on Will’s wheel was also a big motivation 😂😂
Loved it, Rome wasnt built in a day.Keep building on the explosive power, it WILL come together. Love the content.
Great content ! Had me absolutely engaged ! 😀
Proper laugh out loud moment with Kishand's cameo 😂 Man's got some horsepower!
Those skinny legs can sure put down some watts 😂
Loved the attack!! What was the distance of this race? Love these thanks for doing them!!!
The attacked that killed me and everyone else was fine 😂😂 28km 👌
The boldness of it!!! 👍👏👏👏
Awesome footage and commentary as always!
Your line choice was fine, it's always trickier if you're behind someone!
Great vid and now I'm on the hunt for a pair bright blue Bermuda shorts for extra baggy power 💪
Guaranteed extra speed 😂
Bike + comedy. Entertaining!
Haha you're too funny! Man! Love it
🙌
Love the video, commentary and comments. ✌️ at the camera was brilliant. Useful to see your cadence, what was your average cadence?
Thank you and my average cadence was 81 for the race but varied from 4 to 175 😂
@@GiorgioCoppolaCycling Cool, thanks. See you at the next round. My son races the U16s.
Great footage boi !
Well done xx
Come ride the Whaka 100 in NZ , you’d love it 🎉
I would love to but I don’t think the budget stretched to NZ 😂
How are you liking the aspens. ?

Mate, i Can honestly say. With a baby on my arm. I’m also terrified of high speed corners. Even with a 2.4 front tire 😂😅
😂 I can just feel the bike wanting to go 😬😂
God, I love ❤ these videos.
Good video

Thanks for the comment! I will definitely have a look into this and give the above a go 🙌
6:35 You shouldn't have taken that line!
