Idziorek leads Poland to test success

Heckmondwike Cycle Speedway Club's Pawel Idziorek competed for the Polish international squad in a series of test matches against Great Britain. He is pictured in red at the back.

Idziorek, who took up the sport only two years ago, proved to be a shrewd choice for the Polish team as he claimed 18 and 11 points to help his country to victories in both of their matches.

The teenager has also signed up for Sheffield to ride in elite races after a brilliant run of results in which he has won the northern individual junior and senior titles.

Idziorek is now seeking sponsorship ahead of a major international competition in Australia next November.

Heckmondwike’s next outing is on Sunday, August 4, when they travel to Stockport for the next Northern League match.

Training is held on Wednesday evenings (7.30pm) and all equipment and bikes are provided. Sessions are free and open to everyone.

The club is governed by the British Cycling Federation.
