Changes

In 2011, Florent continued to reach milestones and achievements. He won the CDM 2011, his third SMK World Championship title in a row and his fifth [http://www.championnat-smk.org/ CDF]/CDE/CDM overall win in a row. He also claimed the gold medal in the GP competition for the sixth consecutive time, a record like no other in the history of [http://www.championnat-smk.org/ CDF] events and one that is unlikely to be equaled or beaten by anyone other than the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_people French] master himself. With 36 participants, the attendance rates of the event picked up a little bit again compared to previous years. Once again the [http://www.championnat-smk.org/cdm2011.php CDM] welcomed its doors to a variety of karters from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netherlands the Netherlands], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switzerland Zwitzerland], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spain Spain], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/England England], the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USA USA], and of course some of the finest talent from the hosting country [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/France France]. Sadly some of the strongest players, such as [http://speedrunwiki.com/Pierre_L%27Hoest Pierre L'Hoëst], [[Harold Christensen]], [[Julien Holmiere]] and [[Geoffrey Label]] did not participate in all the tournaments or in the case of [http://speedrunwiki.com/Pierre_L%27Hoest Pierre], none at all.

Florent started off by winning the [[Time Trial]] 1-try event with crushing dominance. After being victorious in all the sub-stages (from qualifiers to semi finals), he landed a great 59”58 on [[MC1]] in the final, leaving no chance to his surprise opponent in the final [[Guillaume Leviach]]. His strongest rival [[Sami]] was already lagging behind in the general rankings due to some disastrous crashes in the GV1 semi final. For the third consecutive year, Florent did not manage to obtain the gold medal in Match Race. After a virtually spotless qualification phase he faced a surprising semi final exit after a match versus [[Karel]]. This repeat match of the famous quarter final of 2010  was another thriller, which culminated in a very tense double LB finish on [[MC2]], this time with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_people the Dutchman] coming out on top. Florent redeemed himself by cruising to a 9-2 win in the bronze medal play-off versus [[Geo]], but most observants will agree that Florent did not show his true level in MR this year.
