Six-times world champion ended his career in great style \u2013 by winning the first round of the new series. During the official part of the event, next to several gifts, \u201cTaddy\u201d received one special gift from Polish sportsmen and fans of motor sports.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2018There is no other master like him in the Polish motor sports. He was the world champion six times in a row, he won many times on both sides of the ocean. This evening is probably one of the most important ones in his career, this is why I\u2019m truly proud of the fans who cherished our great master, staying in the hall and cheering for him until the moment he left the track for the last time,\u2019 commented Rafa\u0142 Sonik, who was the ambassador of the Krak\u00f3w-based contest.<\/p>\n<p>Tauron Arena Krak\u00f3w was in fact full to the brim. Even the seats in the highest row were occupied. Out of the sport events, only volleyball national team matches enjoyed such interest. What\u2019s more, for the first time almost all fans stayed in their seats after the contest ended, for another 40 minutes, to thank the sportsman for the emotions he offered them for the past ten years.<\/p>\n<p>Tadeusz B\u0142a\u017cusiak received a special trophy from Andrzej Witkowski, president of PZM, and Magdalena Steczkowska, accompanied by the gathered fans, sang \u201cTaddy Mistrz!\u201d for him, to the tune of the famous \u201cLet It Be\u201d song by The Beatles. The biker, who\u2019s competed in hard enduro for a decade, cried like a baby.<\/p>\n<p>The emotions were topped up by a bottle with sand from Dakar Rally, gifted by Rafa\u0142 Sonik. The bottle has the Muhammad Ali quote engraved on it: \u201cDon\u2019t quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion\u201d, accompanied by a dedication from the fans of motor sports: \u201cYou showed us many time how not to give up and how to win. You are the GRAND MASTER. We\u2019d like to thank you!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rafa\u0142 Sonik, during the press conference before the Super Enduro contest, encouraged his younger colleague to take up the Dakar challenge, saying that he is the most remarkable Polish bike rider. Tadeusz B\u0142asiak has been silent, so far, as to his plans for the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Saturday evening, over twenty thousand people gathered at Tauron Arena Krak\u00f3w said goodbye to Tadeusz B\u0142a\u017cusiak.
