Early years

Coming to the U23 category Kasperkiewicz moved to the Netherlands and joined cycling club WV De Jonge Renner. He raced both in Polish and Dutch races, putting his prowess on the display with 6th place in Carpathian Couriers Race and 2nd in National U23 Time Trial Championships.

Professional career

2014

Kasperkiewicz turned professional at the age of 19, signing one-year deal with Czech-based continental outfit Bauknecht-Author. He finished 3rd overall in Carpathian Couriers Race and shortly afterwards took his first professional victory after a successful breakaway at stage 1 of Peace Race U23.

In June Kasperkiewicz took part in Polish National Championships, taking silver in U23 men time trial for the second consecutive time. He didn't start U23 road race - despite being only 20, he decided to participate in elite race, eventually finishing 4th. Following those performances, he has been selected for Polish National Team for Tour de Pologne and Tour de l'Avenir.

In November he signed a contract with AWT Greenway, development team for UCI WorldTour squad Etixx-Quick Step.^[2]
