Changes

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 against an unchained [[Karel van Duijvenboden]]. 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 [[Geoffrey Label]], but most observants will agree that Florent did not show his true level in MR this year. Contrarily, Florent enjoyed a very prolific Battle Mode tournament, winning a silver medal despite not having practiced this mode much at all this year. [[Geoffrey Label]] surprisingly managed to eliminate the reigning BM World Champion [[Drew Blumfield]] in the quarter finals, meaning the main  obstacle that prevented Florent from reaching the BM finals in previous years was removed. However, [[Geoffrey Label]] managed to narrowly defeat Florent in a climactic final, featuring a dramatic 11-10 scoreline and both players being down to their last balloon on match-point. History had repeated itself as a high finish in the BM tournament, combined with an early quarter final exit of his rival [[Sami]] on the hands of a rampant [[Harold Christensen]], meant Florent was cleanly in the lead after BM day, with only the GP tournament left. Florent strikingly underlined his absolute dominance in GP on the final day of the CDM 2011. After one odd defeat in the group stage, he went on to beat Sami in the early morning final with a convincing 5-2 scoreline, including some near WR level performances on tracks like [[MC4]]. Combined with his dominating Belgian Open win, 2011 had once again been a very succesful karting year for Florent.
