| I knew I wanted to be a pro cyclist when: | After graduating from middle school I went to sports high school. I started achieving some good results and it was a fulfilling feeling. |
| Greatest racing memory: | Every time I get to talk to Polish riders in international races, it’s special. One moment that stands out comes from the Presidential Tour of Turkey, which was a farewell race for Przemysław Niemiec. After the last stage we could celebrate with him as he moved on to cycling retirement. I also enjoyed the Junior Paris-Roubaix. |
| Race I dream of winning: | I would love to take a solo win at Paris-Roubaix. I’m always impressed with the atmosphere there and the fans. It also ends on a track. |
| If I wasn't a pro cyclist: | I think I would go to the military, preferably to Operational-Maneuver Response Group. |
