Great commentary 👌 “G’wan - foot out flat out, love ittttt!!”

[@GiorgioCoppolaCycling]

Thanks gravel granny 🙌 haha got to love it!

[@XcTommy]

This is just the peak of my weekend. A full weekend of DYI Dave. And you drop this beauty of a vid 😍 Great job mate!

[@GiorgioCoppolaCycling]

Haha hope the diy is going well 😬 thanks mate more in the tank for sure as well 👌

[@esavirtanen6418]

These videos are really fun and good to watch as an aspiring xc racer who haven't even done my first race yet. I enjoy the technique and strategy part of the xc races, not just motoring through as you talk about somewhere in the beginning. As well as keeping pedaling wherever you can, downhill for me means just coasting haha. Keep it up!

[@GiorgioCoppolaCycling]

Thank you 🙌 I hope you do give racing a try it’s a great challenge and very fun… let me know how you get on if you do race 🙌

[@A_AAA232]

love these race vids and commentary G, well done on the race position, big effort on the power - dial in the flow and get to that single track first! great result mate

[@GiorgioCoppolaCycling]

Thanks mate 🙌 still a lot to work on… I thought I was getting better in the singletrack but looks like some more work is needed 😂

[@A_AAA232]

@@GiorgioCoppolaCycling dude you're smashing it on the power so just go loose on the techy bits and as your old man said -float the bike!! it'll all come together soon, fingers crossed for a yeh-ha soon :) great videos G, you've got this!

[@almathol]

Great result I'd say! It's good that you have the video to identify areas that you can improve in. Keep it going 👍

[@GiorgioCoppolaCycling]

Really helpful being able to watch it back and I know where I can make big improvements which is good 🙌

[@patrickmaher6420]

You are so fun to watch and listen to - keep going!!!

[@PierreAlainMaire]

Seems like there is no more empty shell man, you can recover in race and still have some berries left ! Well done 🙂 Thanks for cleaning the GoPro while racing, that's so much dedication 😆 Perfect commentary too 👌🏻

[@GiorgioCoppolaCycling]

Yep the fitness is starting to increase, I’m doing some harder efforts in training which has helped and I managed to get my fuelling right this time 😅 Got to keep the camera clean for you 😜 although I do only do it on flat sections as the last thing I need to do is take my hands off the bars during the singletrack 😂

[@trajtemberg]

Lovely course and great commentary!

[@stoggs85]

Nice one Giorgio. Mud? Where😂! Seriously, top job, see you at Checkendon. I'll be one on the poor man's rollers warming up around the car park😊

[@GiorgioCoppolaCycling]

It was super muddy 😜 see you at checkendon… just reminded me to enter 🙌

[@mrchrisdavies]

Great commentary/critical review. I could criticise a lot more on your first few mtb races, now you're becoming a legend 😊

[@GiorgioCoppolaCycling]

🙌 still a lot to work on so always good to watch it back and see all the mistakes I’m making 😂

[@fpartidafpartida]

This is awesome! Thank you for this. I was wondering about the power required to have to XC race. This gives me a good idea for training.

[@destinationbikeatboxhillin8255]

Good one Giorgio, hopefully dry for next week!

[@GiorgioCoppolaCycling]

I do hope so… the weather is looking promising which is good 🤞

[@mandygoswell1099]

Great video , well done xx

[@GiorgioCoppolaCycling]

Thank you 🙌

[@missilemick]

Well done 👍

[@danwilliams783]

Giorgi, Keep thinking... "flow like water"..."light as a butterfly" through corners and over roots. Make up seconds by big gearing it downhill. You're doing great in these difficult conditions!! BTW good watt-power numbers. Try working 110% 3-5 min intervals. You're welcome for the unsolicited coaching LOL.

[@GiorgioCoppolaCycling]

That’s reminds me of what my dad shouts at me “float the bike” and thanks for the tips all advice is appreciated 👌

[@ashleydelotz4041]

Solid racing mate and great video, if only we could combine your legs and my single-track skills 😂

[@GiorgioCoppolaCycling]

😂 that would be the dream combo for Woodys… great racing with you and hopefully I will see you in a couple of weeks on the start line 💪

[@Kitfos]

Great video, thanks. And Red Bull TV need to hire you for your commentary skills asap!

[@GiorgioCoppolaCycling]

Thanks and haha maybe one day 👀😂

[@syrus3k]

You're bloody strong George, but your analysis is perfect I think.. gotta get better on the single track.

[@GiorgioCoppolaCycling]

For sure a lot to work on it’s nice knowing the fitness is there… most people find it easier to go downhill 😂

[@syrus3k]

@@GiorgioCoppolaCycling nah kick em while they're down. I subscribe to that but don't have the power to back it up

[@patrickmaher6420]

I’m 64 and racing 30 mile mtb!!

[@rydinorwin]

Race commentary and self piss take beyond anything! You need to replace Sean Kelly on Eurosport! Thanks for th honest (hilarious) insight into all this. You are cycling brilliantly as well. You keep swinging that chopper of yours!

[@GiorgioCoppolaCycling]

😂 thanks not sure I would be PG enough for Eurosport’s 😬😂 this it’s what it’s all about push the limits and swing the chopper 😂

[@forest7424]

What is your camera setup for the races? Love your content.

[@GiorgioCoppolaCycling]

This was filmed on a GoPro hero 8 but I use a 9 now 👌

[@natephillips9765]

I just started watching you and I also race xc but I just wanted to know what bike your riding

[@GiorgioCoppolaCycling]

I have a S-works epic EVO but in this race I was on my hard tail which is a Four4th lights mtb frame 👌

[@johnbon7449]

The guy at 0:55 bought largest giant gravel frame and put flat bars on it. I like it.

[@GiorgioCoppolaCycling]

That’s a great spot I never noticed that 👀

[@matt.rus1]

Cracking result Georgey boy! Great climbing. Keep working on the skills, youre improving every race!

[@GiorgioCoppolaCycling]

Thanks mate 🙌 more technical practice and hopefully I can put it all together and get a good result 👌

[@andrepstace9115]

Superb effort there, G. It's all coming together for you. Keep it up. The results will reflect.

[@GiorgioCoppolaCycling]

Thanks mate… a bit more work to do on the downhills but it will come I’m sure 🤞

[@duttyvegan]

Well done, your video’s are so funny 😂

[@GiorgioCoppolaCycling]

🙌 thanks mate

[@EDCCrossFit]

Single track training camp coming your way! Great effort mate we’ll raced

[@GiorgioCoppolaCycling]

100% needed… I need an idiots guide to getting downhill fast 😜😂

[@jimmansi1187]

Love the self critique, well done, looks like a very tough race, really enjoyed your commentary! New sub here from Philadelphia, Pa. USA

[@GiorgioCoppolaCycling]

Thanks appreciate it 🙌

Accent was so unbearably british I had to stop watching one minute in.
