CX Practice Lap With A Pro - Nick Craig

[@EireGTi]

Any interviews I've watched with Nick he seems like a really nice person. Really enjoyed this interview, such a gent.

[@GiorgioCoppolaCycling]

He’s an absolute legend! Always got time to chat and engage with everyone, a true legend of the cycling world 👌

[@oquemaur]

What a legend! And what an absolute gent. Nice to see him representing the oldies and happy to promote a good cause❤

[@GiorgioCoppolaCycling]

A true legend and still an absolute beast on the bike 😅

[@nicksmith9068]

You will never find anyone in the sport with a bad word to say about Nick Craig. Top racer top bloke

[@Simon_H136]

The GOAT and a true gentleman

[@louistindell9397]

By far your best video. What a rider,what a guy. When I grow up I wannabe just like him. Shame I’m 44.

[@GiorgioCoppolaCycling]

Thanks and hahaha you still have a few years 😜😂

[@johnsenior478]

Great interview and Nick Craig …what a legend..also picked up 3 good tips. Also VG job on the camera.

[@PierreAlainMaire]

A trio of legends 🤩🤩

[@mandygoswell1099]

Nick seems to take it all in his stride and like he says best thing is to enjoy xx

[@waynejones9189]

Never been so pleased to see anyone in my life as I was to see him lap me at the miserable British champs last year😂 Seems like a really likeable bloke when I’ve seen him interviewed and in real life.

[@GiorgioCoppolaCycling]

😂😂 he certainly is and he’s always got time for everyone 🙌

[@Firebirdbex]

Fantastic interview with a true legend and truly nice guy.

[@craigdowse5114]

Really enjoyed this video. A nice racer to racer chat.

[@PaulFreeman1]

Great interview with a legend. Better than GCN imho

[@simonwright1124]

Cracking G, and chapeau for the ad money.

[@everythingexplored5233]

I will never forget 1991 about a third of the way up Ingleboro me and Nick with Ian ferguson closing and Nick thinking I bumped into this guy at chateau deox mtb wc in Switzerland maybe he’s got the legs

[@lokerola]

That was awesome. Nick seems like a super nice and humble guy.

[@GiorgioCoppolaCycling]

100% he’s a top guy!

[@larryryan6003]

Great interview! Very gracious of Nick to sit down with you!

Nick and Sarah are such lovely people... Very grounded and I feel so sad for them all to have lost their young son Charlie 😢 during a MTB ride in the Glossop area I met Sarah and the two boys as we were all riding up a steep incline.. after a very brief chat I challenged the boys to race to the top.... Charlie was fast and just beat me... I didn't actually know who they were at that time but I remember saying to my mate that the kid had a future in cycling ... He certainly was on his way before his unfortunate and early passing. #Rideforcharlie

[@GiorgioCoppolaCycling]

They are both so nice and it’s extremely sad… no doubt Charlie would have been beating Nick at these national races now!

[@steveprice9737]

Great seeing one of my contemporaries still hammering the younger riders. There is a big element of wisdom in racing so older riders can still be competitive against the younger ones. Train smart, race smart. Georgio; he'd be competitive against the current best riders no doubt. Bikes are faster but same engines. Dynamic assessments during races makes a big difference, Nick is one of the pragmatic riders who'll know when to run before being forced to, seconds saved mean bigger prizes 😊 .

[@GiorgioCoppolaCycling]

It was seriously impressive following him for a lap I learnt a lot and will likely make a video on it 👌 100% he would likely be racking up more national titles!

[@steveprice9737]

@@GiorgioCoppolaCycling every second counts as been said before. Better lines scanned every lap, chop through the pack at the start, letting go of the brakes and powering down the hills... I was talking to a mate who says it's an affront to his manhood to get off and run .ffs. OK, so you are going to run, work on your dismount remount, running, carrying plus do some strength work to be able to carry a 40lb mud bike for 200m at full sprint. Save 5 secs a lap for 5 laps! How many places is that? This is brilliant stuff, perhaps we should keep it to ourselves 😆

[@greenmarketheating]

Great interview 👌 I like the vids will say hello when I bump into you out there

[@GiorgioCoppolaCycling]

Thank you 🙌 and hopefully catch you at a race 💪

[@ridethelakes]

Brilliant interview, great questions with an absolute legend and an all round great guy 👌 Possibly would have liked more training tips but he's probably keeping those under his hat! Yes more of these please!

[@GiorgioCoppolaCycling]

I wanted to get into training a bit more but we didnt have enough time (this could of easily been hours long if i answered all the questions I had 😂 hopefully one day I can get Nick back on and he would more than likely share everything 👌

[@markshearing]

Thank you that was pretty awesome, and Nick is a real legend!

[@GiorgioCoppolaCycling]

I have asked the question for you and will let you know 👌

[@GiorgioCoppolaCycling]

It’s an older model that has been discontinued but these are the two links I was given that are pretty close www.scott-sports.com/gb/en/product/scott-insuloft-light-men-s-hoody?article=2918050001006 www.scott-sports.com/gb/en/product/scott-insuloft-tech-primaloft-men-s-hoody?article=4087070001006

[@peterthomas8053]

Loved the video. Shame about the people talking over the first minute, or so, of the on track footage. Met, and spoke to him in 2017 , at a track test day in York. Vert easy to talk to and a very humble, but highly talented guy.

[@GiorgioCoppolaCycling]

Will hopefully get microphones in the future for better audio 🤞 he’s an absolute legend and always got time for everyone 🙌

The Rocket is better than the GCN film crew. 😁
