    Another great video. Even though you didn’t have the snap as you mention, you kept working it. Those first few matches burnt always get me!

      Thanks Richard 👌 always worth trying even when the legs aren’t quite firing as you never know 🤷‍♂️ and it’s hard not to burn matches early doors with all the adrenaline 🤪😂

    nice one GC, top work on these race vids and seeing how things develop in the pack - you gave it the berries, burnt so many matches and kept it real :) great stuff!

    Nice video! I thought it was against britsh cycling rules to have a canera on the bike tho? Did they change it?

    • @GiorgioCoppolaCycling
      @GiorgioCoppolaCycling  2 года назад

      Thanks and unfortunately they haven’t changed the rules but I contacted BC and they kindly gave me special dispensation to have the camera on my bike during certain races this year 👍

    Great video 👍 those repeat efforts to bridge will be great training even if it they didn't pay off in terms of final position. That circuit looks brutal... Nowhere to hide! 😂 Will have to try it one day

      Thanks mate 😃 yeah it’s all good training and good fun… I’m just loving racing at the moment and trying different tracks 👌 Definitely a tough one with some big surges but worth a go for sure!

    What bike do you have? Do some people race in affordable bike like specialized allez type?

    • @GiorgioCoppolaCycling
      @GiorgioCoppolaCycling  2 года назад

      I have a Cannondale supersix but there are a lot of different bikes used and as long as your bike is safe, you’re good to race 👌

    @underbelly6042 2 года назад +2

    Loving the channel dude. Quick question, how are there E1/2 racers at the same time as your race? Why wouldn’t they start once the other race has finished?

    • @GiorgioCoppolaCycling
      @GiorgioCoppolaCycling  2 года назад +1

      For some of the mid week races in the uk they have 2 races on the course at the same time to be able to get all categories racing before it gets dark… weekend races they tend to separate races as they have more time…
      Also some of the wide circuits get 4 races going at once 😅

    Well done G! Looked like you had a bit of a opposite race to me in terms of the first 15mins! 😲 I started hurting myself in the second 15minutes and didn’t realise you was hurting when I jumped on your wheel 🤣 I find being on the inside at the top of track helps for positioning, as that way you get on the right hand side straight after the s bends to go round the clubhouse corner on the inside and usually gain a few handlebars. Here’s the link to my video of the race, got some good clips of you 😃 ruclips.net/video/P1oaiCGn7ig/видео.html

    • @GiorgioCoppolaCycling
      @GiorgioCoppolaCycling  2 года назад +1

      Yeah It’s just how I race, start hard and hang on… gets boring sat in the wheels. You could literally do like 150w average if you sat in round there 😂
      yeah you jumped on my wheel and I remember flicking my elbow and you didn’t come through thanks for leaving me out there 🤪😂 yeah definitely got to be on the inside and in the top 6 on that final corner… maybe next time, don’t think I’m racing there again this year so will have to remember for next year 😂

      Well done George dont be to hard on yourself. That looked a difficult track being so narrow. Once again Your ego gets the better of you buddy .Just because it looks good going over the start/ Finish line in first place halfway onto a race dont mean anything .Get a grip George dont be inpatient # Ride Smart and your be rewarded.
