Other sports:

He has also raced as a professional road cyclist, competing at the 2021 Tour de Suisse and representing Poland at the European championships in 2018 and 2019. (SportsDeskOnline, 29 Jul 2021; procyclingstats.com, 01 Jan 2020)

In January 2020 he fractured the scaphoid bone in his wrist and injured his elbow in a crash during a race in Australia. He underwent surgery and was able to compete the following month. (polskatimes.pl, 01 Apr 2020)

He began cycling training at age 10 at the GKS Cartusia Kartuzy club in Poland. He took up track cycling at age 18. (rowery.org, 29 May 2018)

"I didn't practise any sport. I just biked a lot, ran around the back garden, played football with friends, but nothing serious, just random children's activities. One day my friends signed up to the GKS Cartusia Kartuzy club which was in our neighbourhood. I went to a few training sessions, I liked it and asked my parents if I could sign up. I started with mountain biking, then we moved to road cycling, and at age 18 I began track cycling." (rowery.org, 29 May 2018)

To win a medal at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. (polsatsport.pl, 05 Jan 2021)

RETURN TO TRACK
Since 2019 he has predominantly focused on road cycling, competing with the CCC team before signing for French team Cofidis Solutions Credits for 2021. In December 2020, he announced that he would return to track cycling with the hope of competing at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. "The sporting director of the Polish federation and the head coach, Andrzej Tolamanow, convinced me to come back to track. I like track very much and had good results, but my last few performances were not so good. Before the new year I did one training session. It was a cool feeling, I am fresh and motivated to work. My goal is to go to the Olympic Games and fight for a medal." (polsatsport.pl, 05 Jan 2021)
