After his career ended, he worked in one of the capital’s clubs as a coach, and his team won gold medals at the national championships in the 100 km team race 18 times. He was also a coach for the national team in the 1970s. He died in 1988, and a memorial race has been held since 1989.
On Wednesday, most of the cyclists who raced in Zdunów will be standing in Teresin at the start of the Dookoła Mazowsza 66 race.
