Hey man. I love that you post a race like this and laugh at yourself- and I mean that in the best possible way. Takes a lotta huevos to do that. We've all been there ... Great video. Thanks gor making me smile. Looking forward to your next video!
Had my second sanctioned mountain bike race yesterday and the first was a couple weeks ago. First race Cat 3 1st place. Second race Cat 2 ,11 th out of 16 and I felt good about that. The race was twice as long as the Cat 3 and the engine doesn’t have the fuel capacity to go full gas for that long yet. Lost a couple positions at the end due to a a couple guys sneaking up behind sprinting at the finish against each other. Dropped my water bottle and had to stop on the second lap to get it. At this point for me it’s a lot of fun because I know I have a lot of room for growth still. Can’t wait to get to XC season next year a lot better trained up. Its addicting. Thanks for the inspirational entertaining videos!
love it, awesome vid mate...it wouldn't be GC race if you didn't pin it from the start!!...burn those matches mate, it's all good fun! good to see so many other racers though ;) well done holding it together on the descents, youve got some skills there now - nice one

We’ve all been there, the walk of shame part.
Great recap!!!

That’s mega! I’m glad you are enjoying it it’s what it’s all about and I totally agree it’s super addictive trying to get faster 💪
Maaaate, even I didn’t have to do the walk of shame last year!! Fair play for keeping going though
😂 it won’t be long before I’m asking for permission to get back in your race 😜😂
Hurting but still pushing hard, great effort entertainingly described.
wow fun looking descent. I'd love to race that course. Tough luck on blowing up. Indeed, pacing will suit you better.
The decent was unfortunately over very quickly and it felt like I spent 1h 30 going up hill 😂
Giorgio, feel your pain.. got dispatched first climb in the vets race 😂😂
😂😂
Haha dang that's as slow as me! Hang in there! Tell the rocket you need more time on the bike ha
😂😂
Nice video! I know how you closed the gap down to the lad in black: I'm not very good going downhill 😅
Haha but clearly fast up the hills 💪😂
One thing is sure, the worst you finishing position, the better and more entertaining the content. 😂
😂😂 that’s why I never win 👀😂

Exactly it’s what it’s all about… full gas and absolutely blow my biscuit 😂
@@GiorgioCoppolaCycling the only way! earn that recovery cake and cookies :) keep it fun GC!
Flying down the hills, it seemed more like a lap marathon race. Glad you can laugh about it. next year.
I would agree the course was very marathon like, nothing technical just flowing/fast downhills.
Ok , what the new game plan ?
Find an easier sport 😂😂
