  • The penultimate race of the 23/24 cyclocross season saw me head to a different Cyclocross League, away from my usual Wessex League races. I made the trip to the East Kent Cyclocross League to tackle an event/course put on by five-time National Cyclocross Champion Ian Field - and what a course he put on!
    The conditions were brutal, with some tough winds to deal with and the mud sections of the course made for some tough racing. I went hard from the gun to get in the front group, but could I stay with them?
    I hope you enjoyed the video and please do like & subscribe!

    You'd have won if you'd worn the special gloves 😂

    Congrats on the 3rd place finish! Taking time to chat with and take photos with the youngsters is a class act. Chapeau!

    You and Ian on the Koppenberg! Yes! I would pay money to watch that!

      I think I would be pulled on the first lap, I’m not even sure if I could get up the climb 😂

    You should go on tour and do cx races from all different leagues across the country and then rate them 😊

      I would love to but my budget doesn’t stretch to that unfortunately… I can just about afford to go to my local league 😂

    One bike and mud, proper cx! I wish this was the norm, less stuff to bring along each weekend.

    It was great to meet you and the Rocket down in Deal. Great video - you rode everything I failed on (Chopper). Can’t believe the cheating on the muddy drag…. No wonder I was almost last

    Briggs and Kishan are machines though. Soo strong and skilled. Was fun seeing you and those 2 fly past me 😢 as I was getting lapped.
    It's funny you are aiming to win, the rest of us just aim to not get lapped.

    • @GiorgioCoppolaCycling

      They are beasts and it was great fun racing them!
      I know the feeling, every time I race a National I’m in the same position 😅

    Nice one Giorgio, it looked like a nice course.
    It'd be cool to see Ian come out of retirement for a race to show everyone how it's done 😁
