getting ready
| On the day of the British Individual Championships, I always have a moment of deep thinking. For the reasons that I cannot comprehend, I can't take part in those and always have this weird feeling of rejection. I gave almost 10 years of my services to the British Cycling, and the sport over here. I have been competing in all league matches over the years, supporting local meetings and winning whatever was left to win like the British Grand Prix. But on this Bank holiday Monday I always feel under appreciated and always go for a proper training session. These sessions are always a pinnacle of my season. The moment when all the riders in the country riding their hearts out and putting their seasons behind them, I always put that little bit more just to forget about the disappointment. Luckily this year I decided to enter the Polish Championships, which obviously going to take me away from riding in here for a couple of weeks, but that's the price I'm prepared to pay. I'm a World Champion and feel kind of obliged to come over to Poland and complete my national duties. There is a lot of people that would love me to ride in there so I'm pleased I have found a new goal this year. I have never finished above 7th place in Poland, although only competed once since 2002. My preparations don't end on just putting that extra bit in training. I have fully built me other Lynskey bike and now I'm lucky enough to run two custom titanium cycle speedway bikes. They both have exactly the same specs, with XTR cranks, and DT Swiss wheels. I'm also excited about my two new additions to my sponsorship partners. I have acquired a nutrition specialist Mybikefood.com which just sent me some products for trying, and which I'm very pleased about Moore and Large cycle wholesaler sent me two very special tyres. I have found them online and wanted to have them straight away. Kenda small block 8 in 1.75 will take the sport by the storm. They are narrower to the preferred Maxxis larsens and much grippier than those. I'm looking forward to race the Polish Individual semi final on saturday, and hopefully be in that top 8 and earn my place in the final. World does not end on the British Individuals. Got to keep it going. Lukasz. |
