This was one of the most important points in Chris' career, which put him in the shop window for a team place in the British League.
In July Chris was selected to represent the USA in the Under 21 World Championship.
He qualified from the quarter-final in Pardubice, Czech Republic where he came 4th in the final, although he lead the race, until arm pump made him slip to fourth meaning he missed out on qualifying for the semi-final in Lonigo, Italy.
In the winter Chris continued his ambition to ride in the British League by competing in the qualifiers for the 2006 Dream Team touring squad.
Chris finished the series with the highest average, although didn't take his place up in the team, as a British club had already been in contact.
