4th position for Mihail Florov in the Spanish CIV championship

The 18 years old Bulgarian racer Mihail Florov (SP57 Racing Team, Yamaha) missed the podium in the second round of the Spanish CIV championship, that took place on Circuito de Cartagena last weekend. Despite the difficulties during the race weekend, he succeeded to take 4th position in the overall classification of the Open 600 category, despite the competition of 25 riders.

 „The weekend was full of problems. On Friday after the engine revision we had to reset it for racing.In the second session my breaking system didn’t work properly and it took us a lot of time until my mechanics found a solution for the problem. This is why I made one session out of three. The first qualifying was an absolute disaster, because my brake didn’t work again, my mechanics repaired it as fast as they could, we still had a lot of time to the end, unfortunately we didn’t have luck, in the very first lap after going out of the pits my gear liver broke. There were no surprises in the second qualifying, at the end we couldn’t find the right setup and I couldn’t give my 100%. On Sunday I started from 5th position. I made quite a good start and found myself in 4th position in the first turn. I was able to ride with the top 3 guys for two laps when I made a mistake and they started pulling away. Anyway the result is there, we have to focus on the next round now and give our best as always! – said Florov for Riders.Live.
