The power numbers really puts it into perspective. As someone who only rides on the road it's hard to imagine just how much effort it takes in these races, seeing the numbers helps. Good effort!
Insane power and mental fortitude at the start Giorgio 🙏🙏🚀🚀 800-1000W on multiple occasions - and then loads of 400-600💪🥵. Massive respect ✊ for staying in the Front Group for as long as you did ! The equivalent of trying to sprint at top class marathon pace for more than 2mins !!
It was great fun being in the mix but the numbers required are way beyond what I will ever be capable of but it’s always fun seeing what the body is capable of 😅 although it did hurt a lot 😂
The start was amazing. You were flying along with the top group for ages. It might not help the final position, but it has to be more fun going out and smashing it with them at the start than riding conservative and just watching them disappear until the monster Mason comes past and 80%s you. Love the commentary, love the honesty, keep it up.
Thanks for coming up again. Was great to see you racing well and the amount of support you had was huge compared to your last visit. Thats a credit to the channel!
cool vid. i did my first proper racing last year, on gravel, culminating in the national gravel champs and I was blown away by the quality. got my ass handed to me. this took me back to that 😀
awesome effort G -great video and what a flyer of a start again! big power numbers mate, you did dig deep - big up to all the supporters cheering you on, well done
I thought your shadow was going to ride away from you😂. But good on you for giving it a good go. And with you accent, getting out of Falkirk alive is an achievement in itself.
Obviously not the result you were hoping for but that start was unbelievable. Cameron Mason's speed was super human and to think he gets dropped by the likes of Iserbyt and MVDP. Really fun to see the race though from your perspective. Thanks for the show.
Nice! Thanks for all the entertaining videos this past season. You and the Rocket are the best cycling/lifestyle site on YT. Also, sure Ben could be a future Bond 007 but the Rocket married you. YOU WIN!
Well done Giorgio! That early power was mega but yeah the like credit card you repay with punitive interest ;) I reckon your bike skills have improved in 2023. I'll be interested to see what you do in XC this year.
😂 the adrenaline definitely got the better of me and I paid for it 😅 agree they have definitely improved and I’m looking forward to seeing the cross over to my XC racing
Very entertaining and funny film mate. So you'll be debriefing your race and season now? Once the emotion has shut up it's time to appraise what happened and how to improve as well as what was top quality chopping in league races😂 Few of us are going to podium in national events but us mortals can always find improvements; yours from the race was likely the little banks you failed on , after all you've improved other areas and get better results as a consequence. The little banks need a bit of attitude as much as strength quite often. You've obviously got more to give and with a bit of work will podium regularly next season. Your vids have been pretty educational in a quirky way as well as being amusing. 🙂
I think my body is still recovering from the illness as I definitely don’t feel as fit as I was. The 80% rule hardly ever works when the leaders are doing such fast laps 😅

I hit max HR, and got a cramp in my right calf by watching this. Holy Tubeless sealant that was some serious choppin’
😂😂😂
Well done Giorgio🎉. That did look brutal. Cam M was certainly on form.
The power numbers really puts it into perspective. As someone who only rides on the road it's hard to imagine just how much effort it takes in these races, seeing the numbers helps. Good effort!
🙌 it’s certainly a bit different to racing on the road, when you roll out nice and chilled 90% of the time… I sometimes wish it was the same in CX 😂
This is awesome!!! funny and entertaining commentary without boring blabbering.
Thanks for your two videos. More entertaining and a better idea of the course than watching the entire BC live broadcast on the day🙂
🙌🙌

Great effort well done the rocket must be very proud of you

Love the commentary, love the honesty, keep it up.
100% it’s fun trying to go with it and being involved in the action but it certainly hurts a lot trying to do it 😂
Proper bants, love it!
Thanks for coming up again. Was great to see you racing well and the amount of support you had was huge compared to your last visit. Thats a credit to the channel!
🙌 all the support was mega and definitely made the trip worth while 👌
cool vid. i did my first proper racing last year, on gravel, culminating in the national gravel champs and I was blown away by the quality. got my ass handed to me. this took me back to that 😀
😂 yeah I did hear the national gravel champs was crazy fast… I’m tempted to give it a go one year 👀
"The Italian Blade Runner" strikes again - Super ride Giorgio - "The Cannonball"...
😂 all or nothing
awesome effort G -great video and what a flyer of a start again! big power numbers mate, you did dig deep - big up to all the supporters cheering you on, well done
I think I dug a little too deep but always good pinning it off the start 😂
In another few years, you can tell your kids how you raced against Cam Mason... and got schooled. But oh, what a memory! Good sport!
100% maybe I will just show them the first 60 seconds so they think I’m a hero 👀😂
fantastic effort the start was fantastic
Live for the moment. You'll never know unless you go.
100%
I thought your shadow was going to ride away from you😂. But good on you for giving it a good go. And with you accent, getting out of Falkirk alive is an achievement in itself.
It tried 😂
😂 I was surprised how many Scottish people actually liked me 👀😂

Didn’t have the legs but always fun to get in the mix! He’s super human and it won’t be long until he’s winning the big ones in Belgium 😅
Great stuff, well done
Excellent insight good job.
Go Till Ya Blow !!! 🫡
Great footage.
Well done , it’s all good experience xx
Nice! Thanks for all the entertaining videos this past season. You and the Rocket are the best cycling/lifestyle site on YT. Also, sure Ben could be a future Bond 007 but the Rocket married you. YOU WIN!
No problem 🙌 and haha 😂 thanks!
Epic! You only know your limits when you push all the way! Top effort.
100% 🙌
Well done mate, great race💪💪💪
Great stuff yet again.
Great footage Giorgio Boy! Did what you could against the best in the land. Congrats mate! Still a champion in my book for giving it full beans!
🙌 the peoples champion 😂
Amazing effort , well done 💪💪👏👏
"Little thumbs up" 🤣
Awesome effort!

Love it dude. Well done
You can just watch them on TV or you can stand on the line and race amongst them! .... Good effort Giorgio, you gave it your all 😀👏👏👍🥐🥐🥐
🙌 it would of been less painful to just watch it on tv I think 😂😂
@@GiorgioCoppolaCycling but that wouldn't make great content like this! Keep up the good work 😁👏👌
Good effort George, I think your best form was in December - it can't last forever!
How much racing time did you do before you got pulled?
Yeah after falling ill over Christmas I haven’t got anywhere near my December form which is a shame 👎 33 minutes 😂
Very entertaining and funny film mate.

Thanks Steve and I have a couple more races to finish the cyclocross season and then maybe this year I take a different approach 🤔
U had Lewis Askey worried for a bit Giorgio!
😂 for all of 30 seconds 👀😂
0 to 1000 W in 1 second at the start. WOW!
If didn’t last long 👀😂
Mason only sped up for the gopro 🤣
Couldn’t agree more he must of known it was me 😂
What power meter do you use please?
Quarq 🙌
Illness the other week won't have helped. 80% rule didn't really work for you or Cameron Mason this time!
I think my body is still recovering from the illness as I definitely don’t feel as fit as I was. The 80% rule hardly ever works when the leaders are doing such fast laps 😅
Thighs screaming for mercy! We all been there too geogio😂
😂 it’s not fun that’s for sure 😂
Pleasure to make a cameo at 7:50 on the GOATs channel. Tough going out there, top effort 🫡
😂 legend! Couldn’t leave it out, you came flying past!
