| Two months later in Paris, Florent confirmed his newly acquired SMK dominance with a winning performance at the French Championship. Because of his success in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norway Norway], Florent entered the [http://www.ffsmk.org/?task=results&year=2007 CDF of 2007] as one of the two clear favourites to win.

| 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 decided to use the heavy weight characters in all cups for GP this year. After the GP final of 2010, which he drove with the brothers on some cups, he had sensed that he was more vulnerable to body-checks and losing out to full speed potential when exposed to Sami, who equips himself with the big guys everywhere. Florent's character switch was a rewarding one as he 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]].

| With his main rival [[Sami]] proving he could even go toe to toe with Florent in his strongest mode, GP150cc, Florent knew he had to reach top-4 in the Battle Mode tournament. On paper this was far from an easy task, with big names such as [[Julien Holmiere]], [[Geoffrey Label]], [[Drew Blumfield]] and [[Harold Christensen]] all having their eyes on the title. After a good qualification, Florent struggled to pull through versus an on fire [[Conor Wood]] in the quarter finals. However, a narrow 7-6 win was sufficient to reach the semifinals; a result all the more important as [[Sami]] was eliminated in the quarter finals by Battle Mode player extraordinaire, [[Geoffrey Label]]. Subsequently Florent was denied a spot in the final by a rampant [[Harold Christensen]]. [[Harold]] had taken an early 7-1 lead, but Florent still managed to fight back 9-6. While [[Harold]] went on to win the tournament in emphatic fashion, Florent fell a little short of a bronze medal after a 9-6 defeat at the hands of [[Geoffrey Label]]. The CDM of 2013 was finalized with the MR tournament. Florent needed to rank above [[Sami]] to reclaim the SMK World Championship title. Despite the fact that [[Sami]] had been dominant in MR for 4 years straight, Florent was feeling confident, as the new tricks up his sleave (such as finish-line feather tricks on [[GV2]], [[BC2]] and [[BC3]]) made him feel he had an extra edge against his adversary. [[Sami]] had won a small psychological battle by beating Florent in the group stages; this also implied Florent had to face one of his feared adversaries, [[Karel van Duijvenboden]], early on in the quarterfinals. Somehow this draw happens every year, and while it is normally very close, Florent crushed an underperforming [[Karel]] 7-0, sending out a strong signal to his competitors that he was ready for whatever was in store next. While [[Sami]] had succeeded in breaking Florent’s GP streak, Florent returned the favour by eliminating [[Sami]] (and effectively becoming World Champion and stopping Sami's 4 year streak on MR) in the semifinal after a tense battle. The two rivals went head to head for the first few points, both showcasing incredible driving and full mastery of the tactical component of this mode. Florent was boosted a bit by 2 lightnings, but that took nothing away from his eventual 9-6 victory, earned by an ever more aggressive and risky driving style, rather than the more calculated style of his opponent. The MR final versus surprise opponent [[Julien Holmiere]] was played with Florent already having the overall CDM victory secured.
