Arkadiusz Owsian born on September 10, 1993 in Poland. This year he debuted as a professional in the ActiveJet Team and possibly many you do not know anything about him, but ... Prepare for the future of cycling!
R&M:
Hi Arek. Thank you very much for accepting this interview.
Road&Mud readers would be curious to know more
about you.
Hi. I'm very happy with that you wished to talk with me.
R&M: Why
and when did you decide to become a cyclist? How did you start to ride a bike?
Answering the question, since i can remember. When I was a kid my dad was a coach in a small team in my city. When he could, he toke me to the races. For me it was an amazing experience. I wanted to do that. First my brother Łukasz started to race. I wanted to be like him, and that's the beginning of my story with cycling.

R&M: For those that do not know you. How
would you define yourself as a cyclist?
I think I'm the type All-Rounder, but I'm still a young rider and I
must learn a lot.
R&M: This is your first year in a
professional team. How do you feel about it?
I'm very, very happy. I must say thanks to my boss Mr Bieliński and
my sports director Mr Kosmala. They gave me a chance and I hope I don't
disappoint them.
R&M: This
season, you are participating in both professional and under23 races. Are there
many differences between them?
I think that there are many differences. First of all, races are
longer in professional and the riders have more respect to each other. In races
under23 is more chaotic. There are a lot of crashes, and of course we ride
slower.
R&M: In
2014 you have participated in two important races of the Spanish calendar,
Majorca and Andalucía. Did you like
them? What do you think about the Spanish supporters?
Those were my first races this season. I felt good in these races
and if I have a chance I will go back there. The atmosphere was amazing. There
were many Spanish supporters. Races were very heavy but I want to go back there
and show what I can do.
R&M: Tell
us about your team, ActiveJet Team. How is your relationship with the Spanish
teammates Ezquerra, Muntaner and Mario González?
This year is the first year of the group but everything is prepared
professionally. We can't complain about anything. With the Spanish teammates I
have a very good relationship. They are very friendly and helpfully. I can talk
to them about everything.
R&M: Which international race would you
like to race the most? Why?
I think that the most important races in this season will be the
World Championship Under23, of course if I get nominated for national team.
Race profile is perfect for me. I like this route.
R&M: Could
you explain to our readers how your training routine is? How is your
day-to-day?
The First thing I do after waking up is to drink a cup of coffee. After that I write my brother to see what he is riding on this day and if it is possible we train together. In training I try to do exactly what the coach wrote me. After training I like to spend time with friends.

R&M: Which
are the next races that you will do this year? Which are your goals for this
season?
My next race is Tour des Fjords in Norway. This race has 2.1 UCI
category and there are very good teams with very good riders. I think I'm in a
good condition and I can fight for good results. Next goals for me are probably
the National Chamiponships. Next? We will
see where my team gets invitation.
R&M: The
Polish cycling has an impressive future with stars as Kwiatkowski and Majka.
How cycling is lived in your country?
Cycling in Poland is not a popular sport like football. Maybe in a
few years this will change. Obviously something had moved in this direction but
we still have a long way. Riders like Kwiatkowski and Majka make the people and
the media beginning to interest cycling.
And,
now, a little short test:
