A season full of hard work, fighting to the very end, and emotions that linger long after. Michał Valiavskyi #717 finished the year as runner-up in the Polish MX Junior Cup. Although he was just a few points shy of the coveted top spot, it was a breakthrough season—culminating in three titles and a clear signal that the appetite for more is enormous.

🏆 SEASON AND RESULT – MICHAŁ ON A YEAR FULL OF EMOTIONS

1. What emotions are you feeling after taking second place in the Polish MX Junior Cup? I'm happy with second place, even though I had a clear goal – to win the entire series. It was very close, but a disqualification in Gdańsk meant I missed out on a few points. If not for that, I would have been in first place today. I'm definitely still dissatisfied.

2. How do you assess the entire season?

I'm very happy. I won three titles, so it was a truly successful year. The turning point came after the 2024 season, when I started training much harder and more consciously.

3. Which race was the most difficult and which one was the most rewarding?

The hardest part was in Chojna – two falls, lots of mistakes, and riding like a rock. The biggest satisfaction came from the Gdańsk race. I love that track, and the battle with my friend Szymon M. was fantastic. We were over 50 seconds ahead of the third-place finisher.

4. What was the key to success?

Definitely working on fitness and a very well set-up bike.

🎤 GALA AND EMOTIONS

5. What were your impressions of the gala?

It was my first gala. I was very proud to be there.

6. Stage – stress or pleasure?

Definitely a pleasure.

7. Who supported you the most during the season?

My family, especially my grandparents, put in a tremendous amount of work to help me achieve this success.

8. Did this event give you additional motivation?

Of course. I hope to be there next year too 🙂

🏍️ TRAINING AND PREPARATION

9. What was your average training week like?

It depended on the season. In the summer, I could train on my motorcycle once a week, in the winter, up to five times a week. And fitness... that's another story 🤫

10. What was the most technical thing you worked on?

I spent most of my time trying to feel loose and comfortable on the motorcycle.

11. Mental preparation – were there any rituals?

I guess not 😄

🔧 EQUIPMENT

12. What motorcycle did you ride this season?

Yamaha YZ 125, year 2025. I love Japanese machines.

13. Were there any changes to the setup during the season?

Yes, quite a lot – carburetor settings, tuning module, clutch and other minor modifications.

⚔️ COMPETITION

14. How do you rate the level of competition in MX Junior?

In some rounds, several strong numbers were missing, including #751, #229 and #103.

15. Did you have a rival who particularly motivated you?

After my disqualification in Gdańsk, I had one goal: to win the entire series despite everything. Unfortunately, I fell short by six points.

🚀 FUTURE

16. What are your goals for next season?

I'm staying in the same class. I want to complete the entire Polish Championship series and finish in the top three. I also dream of a full ADAC season.

17. Are you planning any changes?

I'm not changing my motorcycle – I'm still loyal to my Yamaha. The rest of the setup is largely unchanged, with stability being my top priority.

🔥 AT THE END

18. The biggest fun factor of the season?

Lublin – a great track and two really great races.

19. Best moment of the whole year?

The result after a whole year of hard work.

20. One piece of advice for younger players?

NO Compare yourself to others. Don't look to tomorrow, but to the entire year ahead.

Second place in the Polish Cup, three titles won this season, and clear goals for the future show that this is just the beginning. Michał doesn't hide his ambition, but at the same time, he's committed to calm, consistency, and long-term work. If future seasons look anything like this one, one thing is certain: this name will be heard many more times on the tracks in Poland and Europe.
