After my recent upgrade to 3rd cat, it was time to jump straight in and take on my first 3rd cat crit! This week saw me take on the Mountbatten circuit races, on a Wednesday evening in Portsmouth.
It's a very similar circuit to the Preston Park circuit races I had been taking part in recently but with a slightly shorter race length. The shorter race length no doubt meant it was going to be a full gas crit race, with plenty of attacks and it didn't disappoint.
The step up in speed and power required to cover attacks and keep up from 4th cat to 3rd was a big jump. I have plenty of work to do and lot more crit racing to tackle, but I hope you enjoyed the video.
Please do like & subscribe for more crit and road racing this summer!

Yes G! Good to race with you mate and you were comfortable throughout. With a bit less time on the front, you’d have had enough to get away. A solid start to road racing! Del, sod the lights and machining, commentary is your calling! Ali & Rocket behind the camera, you on the comms, Ben Co-comms, G rider! Dream channel and family business… 😀

Yep - the big lads with big power and pinch make Cat 3 very hard indeed 🥵. Nice work for staying in the bunch first time out 👌

They certainly do with a bit better race craft from myself that should make a big difference to get to the front of the pack come the end of the race 🤞

Haha you certainly are… mad respect going off the front like that you’ve got some serious power 💪 racing thruxton this week but will probably be back the week after… hopefully you’re cat 2 by then so I don’t have to get my legs ripped off again 😂

Nice one , I was in there , 3rd cat racing is very frustrating sometimes no-one wants to roll through. Training on a Wednesday night down there is harder I think. You there tomorrow for #2
@GiorgioCoppolaCycling
@GiorgioCoppolaCycling 2 года назад
Yeah at points it looks like we’re going to start rolling through and then nothing comes of it but every time I was on the front I didn’t have the power to shut it down anyway 😂 not there tomorrow raced thruxton this evening but will potentially race on Saturday… have a good one if you’re racing 💪

@@larrywiltshire4813 out the back on the last lap tried to go with a couple of guys but didn’t get on the wheel straight away and left myself in the head wind which was absolutely brutal… blew my load trying to get on the wheel and everyone came round me 😅 live and learn 😂 tough track though!

Good effort, you know them mossa lads are real strong. Keeping up with the pack is a good achievement…. You didn’t get lapped.. Maybe try long audax rides as well, they are tough but easier as you only have to finish in a set time
@GiorgioCoppolaCycling
@GiorgioCoppolaCycling 2 года назад
Very true on reflection I was super happy with my first outing in that category 😃 and not sure I would finish a long audax ride… I completed a long gravel ride last year and don’t think i’m over that yet 😂

Congrats on finishing average in a higher category ! 419 watts for the last lap 💪 Were they a bit more elbow-to-elbow contact-friendly ? 😉 (and yes, your dad's comments are gold 😂 )

Mr G you seem a bit dejected after that race . Do you have race cat 3? it seems your trying run before you can walk ? All the same you tryed your hardest looks very tactical and you need to be very strong off the front . Looks fun though. Taking part is the main thing . Well done.
@GiorgioCoppolaCycling
@GiorgioCoppolaCycling 2 года назад
I think I have just accepted where I’m at at the moment I don’t have the power to compete with some of the stronger guys on a flat course like this but it’s good for me to race a course that doesn’t suit me and learn the race craft as it’s super tactical around that circuit… and yes now I’m cat 3 I have to race cat 3 but I’m hoping some races that are more suited to me will come up soon 🤞
