Career edit
Cegielski began racing for Gorzów during the 1996 Polish speedway season. He continued to ride for them before switching to Wybrzeże Gdańsk in 2001.[2]
It was also in 2001 that he rode for Poole Pirates in the British speedway leagues.[1] The following season in 2002, he moved to Start Gniezno and Eastbourne Eagles respectively.
In 2003, he was involved in an on-track crash in a Swedish League. The resulting spinal cord injury left him partially paralysed, and ended his racing career. He has remained close to the speedway world, acting as a speedway manager and expert. After over a decade of determined and laborious rehabilitation, he managed to get back on his feet, and is now able to walk short distances.
