Rosen Kovachev – in TOP 100 of the UCI rank list
For the first time a Bulgarian racer entered the UCI Top 100 Rank list. Rosen Kovachev from Drag Racing Team won the total of 130 points in the downhill championship and finished the season on 92nd place in the overall ranking. The previous year (2009) he was 575th and this is what we can define as progress.
