Florian has spent the past two years in the EMX250 championship and will stay with the WZ KTM team for the season ahead as the team step’s up to race the World Championship.

“Since I have developed very well in the team with Waldemar and I feel very comfortable, it is the perfect environment for me for the 2021 season.
I’m really looking forward to staying with Waldemar and WZ KTM for another year – I’m really looking forward to the upcoming races”, Florian told GateDrop.com. 

“At the moment I’m just looking forward to racing again but I think racing the MX2 World Championship will be a big step for me, but also a chance to show my skills. I think I can get into the top 10. First of all, I want to thank my family for making my dreams come true. Of course all of my sponsors and supporters who believe in me too”, concluded Florian.
