Thousands of spectators from a wide range of countries such as the Czech Republic, Germany, Belgium, Sweden, Italy, Moldova, Romania and Denmark gathered on the hilly racetrack to support their favorites.


 


















As for participants, Mihai Cociu assured his and Moldova’s presence among the World Champions. He competed among the best motocross drivers and stood strong to all the challenges, qualifying 15th out of 80 participants.

 




















On the second day of competitions after the qualifications, during warm up, a driver who was riding in front of Mihai on the track, falls off his bike, thing that throws him off the track but the bike hits Mihai injuring him. The medics reacted immediately and the sound of ambulance took Mihai off the track and out of the game.
