The preparation period is a time of intense work for athletes, finalizing the last details before the season starts. For Kacper Mania, the upcoming competition will be exceptional – the young speedway rider will compete in the PGE Ekstraliga for the first time in his career. As he admits, the hunger for riding is immense, and motivation is not lacking.
– Of course, I’m already eager to get on the motorcycle – says the rider without hesitation, when asked about returning to the track after the winter break.
Currently, Mania’s preparations are primarily focused on the physical and mental aspects. Equipment-wise, everything is going in the right direction, with most elements ready. – I’m focusing on looking good physically and being prepared for the season. The motorcycles are practically ready, only the engines remain. From this season, I’ll have new mechanics, so I’m still waiting for the power units, and everything will be finalized. The most important thing for me now is to be mentally and physically prepared and to give my all – he emphasizes.
After a year away, his team returns to PGE Ekstraliga, and the roster has been further strengthened. The team has added Piotr Pawlicki and Keynan Rew, which, according to Mania, significantly boosts the team’s potential. – Our goal is the playoffs. I think it’s achievable. We have a very experienced team, but it’s known that it won’t be easy. There are many rivals, and nothing will come by itself. We must push hard and give our all to advance to the playoffs – states the rider.
For Kacper Mania, the upcoming season also marks an individual debut at the highest level of competition in Poland. Though pressure is felt, the young speedway rider approaches the challenge with great awareness. – This pressure is different, and even before the season starts, you can feel the thrill of PGE Ekstraliga. However, I don’t impose too much pressure on myself because I know it won’t be an easy transition. METALKAS 2. Ekstraliga is not simple either, but PGE Ekstraliga is a completely different story. I can assure you that I will give my all. We’ll see how it goes, but I certainly won’t give up – he declares.
In conclusion, Kacper Mania does not forget about the fans, who – as he emphasizes – are an incredibly important element of the speedway world. – I hope we’ll see each other at the stadium, and that there will be full stands of fans at every match. I’m looking forward to the support and counting on a great atmosphere in the stands – he concludes.
