British career history: St Austell (1998), Exeter (1999-2000), Trelawny (2001), Trelawny & Peterborough (2002-03), Coventry (2004-present).
CHRIS has seen his career take huge strides forward in the last three years, culminating in his magnificent victory at the 2007 British Grand Prix.
One of the most exciting riders in the sport, Chris saw his fortunes change in early 2005 when he made several changes to his set-up after initially struggling with the step up to the Elite League.
Finished second to his then team-mate Scott Nicholls in the 2005 British Championship and fourth in 2006 before reacing the top step of the podium in 2007 at Wolverhampton, beating David Howe and Nicholls.
His Elite League form reached consistent heat-leader standard midway through the 2006 season, and he has not looked back since, making significant gains on his average year by year.
2007 was his best yet as he helped Coventry to the Elite League treble, posted an actual average in excess of nine - and his win at Cardiff gave 40,000 fans one of the greatest-ever speedway races as he first overhauled Leigh Adams and Jason Crump before getting the better of Greg Hancock on the very last bend.
Chris was unlucky to finish just outside the top eight in the GP series overall after a controversial run-off in Gelsenkirchen, but he was an automatic choice for a seeded place again in 2008. He will also go into his fifth season with Coventry as the Bees' highest-averaged rider.
