MK1

Positive, optimistic and supportive.

Some people are very quick to criticise even though they don't know all the facts. Kacper Woryna is finding his form on British tracks. He had a difficult start and then badly injured his hand. Shortly after his comeback, he was involved in the horrific crash in Poland which would have affected even the most experienced of riders. In the four days preceding the meeting at Poole on 20/7, he had four meetings in Poland, including coming 5th in the individual junior tournament, 2nd in the pairs juniors (where he top scored and won the race off for 2nd place) and then scored a massive 21 point maximum in the junior team tournament. You can't argue with those results. At Coventry last night, he arrived after a two day break and was clearly fired up and showing the quality and promise he has. Despite the bad luck with BB's mechanical problem that hindered Woryna's progress in heat 9, he was out there mixing it up with some quality riders in heat 11. Scott Nicholls is a very good rider and a nice guy. To me it looked like he tried to avoid collecting Kacper on bend 2, but that's racing. The ref made the right call on that occasion. Kacper was battered by the fall, but the adrenaline got him through the rerun on his spare bike and with a little adjustment to the setup he won heat 12. After heat 12 the bruising on his elbow was coming up and he was in pain, so it was too risky for him (and the other riders) to send him out again for what would have been his fourth race in six heats. Don't criticise Havvy for that. At the end of the meeting Kacper spent a lot of time chatting with fans, but you could see he wasn't moving comfortably and was avoiding shaking hands because of the injury to his right elbow. I think he will be a top rider. Consistency will come with experience. Don't give up on your team. They need you now, more than ever!
