- Опубліковано 8 лют 2025
- After an amazing winter season racing cyclocross it has finally come to an end, with the final Wessex league cyclocross race of the year.
My goal has to been to try and win my first ever Wessex league race and my plan to try and achieve this was to go all in and risk blowing up, in a bid to get to the front of the race.
One thing's for certain - I gave it everything I had!
Overall, it has been an absolutely incredible Cross Season, from racing in Belgium to National Trophy's and of course, not forgetting the beloved and brilliant Wessex League.
I appreciate everyone's support and thanks for following my journey. What's next you ask? Onto the summer racing!

Man, I have seriously enjoyed the CX videos this year, your improvement has been amazing and you have SUCH a great energy, you always seem to be so excited about commentary and racing, it’s awesome. Very excited to watch the next videos over the coming months (although I understand that you might want to take a break 😂). Keep up the good work! 👍
Thanks glad you enjoyed the videos 🙌 will keep the videos going for sure… trying to decide what to do with all the Belgium CX race footage 😬 might of missed the window on posting them now cross is coming to an end 🥲
Great race and commentary Giorgio. Really enjoy your on board videos, and it gives us a chance to see parts of the course that Sam has raced but we didn't get to! Many thanks and well done on a great season! Geoff
Thanks Geoff 🙌 glad the videos gave you a better look at the course 👌 well done to Sam as well he had some great results!
👍
Great effort - exciting vid - well done!
Have enjoyed watching your videos, keep putting them up. I also enjoy the gravel rides with Rocket.
Thanks! Will definitely keep posting through the summer and no doubt drag the rocket out for plenty of bike rides 🙌
Wow! That was a strong last race, you should be very proud. I’ve sure enjoyed seeing you improve through the season. Congratulations! I can’t wait to see what next year brings. Thanks for the videos, I have really enjoyed them.
Thanks appreciate it 🙌 looking forward to pressing on this summer and seeing what I can do next year 👌
Great footage Georgio & top effort, loved that vid. Looks like the Wessex League has its very own 'Pidcock'! #thenearlyman 👏🏼
Thanks and not sure I can ever be compared to Pidcock but I will take it 😂
Great video G! You looked great in the corners
I know it’s no consolation but I will happily give you a yeehaw for an excellent season! 🤠
Good to finally feel comfortable on the corners and now the seasons over 😂 appreciate it… maybe next year I will earn one off the rocket 🙌
Solid season.
Congratulations on the overall 2nd.
Thanks appreciate it 🙌
A spirited race indeed! I'm really glad I started watching your channel from the beginning because I've got a real emotional connection now and it's really exciting willing you on! 😁
Binge-watched in under 2 weeks! 🤪
Haha thanks for watching and I’m glad you’re enjoying it 🙌
Top job with the race, video and series result 👏 My limiter is power in the xc mtb races I do which is why I'm always praying for rain before the race😆
Thanks appreciate it 🙌 and that’s the same for me… I don’t enjoy the rain during the race but before to slow the course down is perfect 😂
Amazing confidence you gained this season ! You were even leading at one point 🙂 My HR went to the roof just watching, the viewing angle is so immersive... thanks for the video ! Are you taking some rest now ?
Gained a lot of confidence this season from racing the bigger races and can hopefully take that into next year 👌
I was supposed to take a week off and now just riding easy… but the week off didn’t go to plan 😅 but have just been riding easy before back to some training and racing 👌
No, Rocket, no yeehaw…. still a great season with some great content…. Awesome stuff…. Can’t wait for the off season stuff… 18:11
Can only afford the rockets appearance fee once a week 😂 lots of training and racing to do over the summer 👌
@@GiorgioCoppolaCycling Look, A list celebs are expensive - we get it… Gotta save some of the budget for entry fees!
Yes!! Just started watching, love your vides!! :)
'never give up' does seem to work pretty well
100% doesn’t matter what discipline… never give up and you may get back on 👌
Maté absolutely loved this CX series! Been mega! I even used the “cant park there mate” line in the eastern league on Sunday when a rider binned it in the sand.
Great videos 👍👍👍
😂 love it… I’m sure they appreciated that as you went past 😂
Good effort George and well done finishing second in the league, persistence is the key my friend, now to the Road season
Thanks and it certainly is 👌 but unfortunately not planning on racing on the road much this year 👎
mate! i love it! You've improved them cornering skills so much, since the start of the series! Keep it up! Cant wait for more POV race fottages!

Seen some huge improvements but have a lot to work on now with the mtb 😅 but I’m sure it will come 🤞
Nah mate, that move was fine! You want to get in front you've got to actually get in front eh ;). But really interesting to watch that back! Makes me already miss CX and look forward to next season. My legs were shocking and I definitely didn't have the power in this race to keep the pressure on, so attack was the best form of defence, and then keeping it chill in the twiddly bits to recover. Got the real win tho which is lots of airtime in the vid!
Hmm I really wish the GoPro wasn’t a wide angle lens… that was aggressive 😜😂 that’s what it’s all about a bit of extra air time and those attacks hurt my soul! I just wanted them to end 😂
Quality season from you G - looking forward to the next!
Cheers champ… expecting big things from you on the road this year 🙌
You’re getting faster….!
awesome stuff G, great commentary and effort from the start, well done on both the race and League results- some skills on the single-track and through the corners for sure, sets you up nice for next season and that long awaited yeh-ha! top vlogs showing the CX season, cheers
Thanks mate appreciate it 🙌 yep it’s going to be a long wait for the yeh-ha maybe she will do it if I win a mtb race this summer 🤔 probably more chance of me winning a CX race though 😂
@@GiorgioCoppolaCycling dude MTB racing sounds ace - go smash it :)
Which is it George, a pit bull or a Chihuahua? Ha ha! Brilliant race and excellent commentary as usual. Great looking course, love the single track section. Looked like lots of fun. The Wessex League races look really good. My wife wants a trip to Iceland and Wales, maybe I can finagle it around CX season next year. Would I need a UK license or would my US license work? Regardless, congrats on a great race and season.
Look scary like a pit bull but snapping at your heals like a chihuahua 🤷♂️😂 epic course would love a bit more mud but can’t have it all 😅 nice… 100% worth sneaking a visit in 😜
Although the gaps open up on the fast sections, if you check out the time gaps rather than the distances they don't change too much and the distances close up again as the speed decreases. A lot of it is psychological, although a slipstream is always handy
Not being in the slipstream is the big problem and there is only so many time I can shut the gap down in the corners… more power is definitely needed 😅
I was a shell of man seven minutes in......yea, that's cyclocross!
😂
Errrmm, mini yee haw?!
Unfortunately not 🥲 a win or nothing 😂
Would like to know your age and what machine are you using to video this?
I’m 30 racing on a giant TCX and this video would have been filmed on a GoPro hero 8 👍
